Though my journey may seem like a series of divergent paths, it has ultimately led me to my true calling in the exhilarating new world of media using Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems, more commonly known as drones.
Over the past few decades, I've had the incredible opportunity to delve into a myriad of industries, gaining invaluable experience in transportation, construction, office administration, information technology, and also served as a personal care giver. Each role has enriched my life in unique ways, but it wasn't until I discovered the wonders of aerial photography that everything clicked.
Drawing on my rich experiences and diverse skill set, I decided to become a Transport Canada certified Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (Advanced RPAS Pilot) in 2023. As a Professional Advanced RPAS license holder I am subject to and governed by; the Canadian Aviation Regulations Part IX - Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems.

My progression to aerial photography and videography was a natural transition. The thrill of piloting aircraft and exploring the vastness of the skies has always been a part of me, and now I'm combining that love with my creative eye to capture breathtaking visuals from above. There's a unique sense of freedom and artistry that comes with each flight, and I'm excited to share these captivating perspectives with the world.
As an aerial media creator, my approach is a blend of professionalism and a laid-back attitude. I understand the importance of delivering high quality work and meeting the specific needs of each project. Whether it's showcasing architectural marvels for real estate properties, construction site surveys, orthomosaic 2D or 3D mapping, special events, or documenting projects from an aerial viewpoint, I take pride in exceeding expectations.
But beyond the technical expertise and stunning shots, what sets me apart is my ability to understand and connect with people.
