Mar 2014 - Present
I am an instructor pilot for the Unmanned Vehicle University, and I’m based in Southern California close to Palm Springs. I train both fixed wing and rotor wing including Multi rotor. I also teach aerial photography, First Person View (FPV), train in the use of an autopilot and mission planning. I enjoy teaching others and I look forward to training or flying small UAVs for manufacturers and companies who require a test pilot or operator. I am also prepared to travel to company locations.
