Zing Drone Solutions

I have been a part of Zing Drone Solutions since 2020. I joined as Head of Flight Operations and was promoted to Chief Operating Officer (COO) in January, 2022. I transitioned into a new role of Chief Innovation Officer (CIO) in March 2023. Since I joined, Zing has raised about $400,000 in funding. My role includes managing our FAA Part 107 Category and Part 135 certification efforts, brainstorming with the core team, business analytics/strategy, and to act as an in-house technical aerospace expert. I used project management skills to recruit and lead the engineering/product development team that developed Z-RID and Z-RID Lite, which have sold 2,000+ units and earned over $175,000 in gross revenue.

Gray AerialVisual

I started Gray AerialVisual at the age of 12 with help from my parents. Initially, I was most interested in aerial photography with drones. I later added website development and marketing to my services. When I turned 16, I earned my FAA Part 107 certificate and began operating on my own for a variety of real estate and misc clients in the Volusia County Area.
