Since 1903, the name Wright has been synonymous with flight pioneers: the tradition continues with The Wright Flyer.

More than a decade before drones, I operated multi-rotor, single-rotor, and fixed-wing aircraft before becoming certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fly any drone under 55 pounds; a certification process that I re-test for every two years. I fully understand and adhere to complicated airspace rules and FAA UAS regulations and manage a fleet of advanced, professional-grade, and broadcast quality drones. Having flown drones for years, my cumulative flight operations experience exceeds hundreds of miles and flight hours logged, all without any injuries, incidents, or accidents—ever; nonetheless, all flight operations are insurable up to $25 million dollars. In the event of questions, direct access to industry leaders, FAA resources, and other expert contacts is just a phone call away. I am also a Representative with the FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam) as a DronePro to help establish a positive safety culture within the aviation community.
