I have piloted small, unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) for 12 years as a licensed Independent Adjuster, using my drones for commercial and residential property inspections; collecting photographs of overviews, specific shots of damage, and videos of loss locations and surrounding areas. Flights often have been close-proximity inspections of roofs and multiple story elevations (facades); avoiding trees, wires, and other common obstacles. I am FAA Part 107 Certified (commercial sUAS remote pilot), Certified sUAS Level I Thermographer, ITC #225546611, and fully insured. I approach every flight with careful preparation and mission detailing to ensure maximum safety, efficiency, and completion of the set parameters for the mission goals.
