About Me:

I'm a lifelong aviation enthusiast and radio-controlled aircraft hobbyist. I have been working fulltime professionally with drones since 2010. I am a FAA Certified Remote Pilot FAA Certified Airframe & Powerplant Mechanic FAA Certified Private Pilot.

I really like building and developing my own personal drones. I prefer the Pixhawk autopilot system because of its flexibility and adaptability. At work I use multirotors for data collection but I am more passionate about fixed wing drones.
