We Must Evolve To Meet Them.

My mission is to accelerate the transition to Urban Air Mobility.

Areas of Expertise include:

  • High Volume Rotorcraft Operations

  • Process and Procedure Optimization

  • Route and Infrastructure Design/Planning

  • Government Relations - Licensing and Permit Approval

  • Product Design and Pricing Strategy

  • Customer Experience

  • Technology Solutions and Automation

As a seasoned Urban Air Mobility operator with more than a decade of experience, I have gained first hand knowledge and insight which can help you avoid costly mistakes and reach your goals in the most time and cost-effective manner.

The challenging process of obtaining multiple Part 135 FAA Certificates and building a multi-aircraft operation as well as designing, obtaining government approval, and building the only private use heliport within a major U.S. city has given me a unique skill set and unmatched experience in the Urban Air Mobility space. I am passionate about utilizing my experience and being a trusted resource in the advancement of Urban Air Mobility.

  • Urban Air Mobility is my passion. While sitting in traffic back in 2011, I found myself wishing I could fly over it! A decade later I had built the only vertically integrated helicopter operation in the U.S.

Chicago Helicopter Experience

As the founder of Chicago Helicopter Experience, my team and I built the largest helicopter operation in the Midwest and the only private use heliport within a major U.S. city.
