I am a commercial pilot currently flying aerial survey with Optic Air. Aside from flying my aerial survey job, I love to fly my Mooney across the country to hone in my skills and continue building quality time! My training background includes time in many aircraft types and locations, where I developed a strong foundation in single- and multi-engine operations, IFR procedures, and crew resource management. I have consistently maintained a strong and clean safety record and hold myself to the highest standards in aviation.
