Instructor Bio
As the Founder and Director of Marine Spatial Information Solutions (MarSIS), Iβve built a career around one central mission: to empower people to use technology including drones & GIS together with participatory approaches to make data-driven, real-world impact.
Through my Training Academy, Iβve taught thousands of individuals and numerous organizations how to safely & professionally operate drones, to conduct drone inspections and mapping surveys, and collect accurate environmental data, analyze information and share their results to support agriculture, fisheries, conservation, disaster management and a number of other applications. My Participatory-UAS approach brings together science, technology and collaboration β ensuring that every learner, regardless of background, can build confidence and contribute to smarter decision-making!
Whether youβre an individual seeking new skills or an organization building technical capacity, my goal is to make drone technology accessible, practical and transformative. Together, we can learn how to use technology tools to help us protect our planet and strengthen the communities that depend on it.
