Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I went to Spartan College of Aeronautics (formerly School of Aeronautics when I went); while there, I earned my Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot, Instrument, and Multi-Engine Commercial Pilot certificates. I earned my Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) certificate through a course at Riverside Flight Center located near Spartan's campus at KRVS. I didn't have many opportunities to get a career as a pilot going for various life reasons, however the same cannot be said after getting my Part 107 certificate for drone flying. I've been flying with DroneBase since April 2017, and have done many jobs with them; these have included real estate photography, roof inspection for insurance adjusters, and large property photography for construction.
