I started my aviation career in 1984 working with a local helicopter company, Hi-Lift Helicopters, flying as co-pilot in a Sikorsky S-58. After 20 years working in the external load industry I opened Red Dog Helicopters and started flying tours, surveys and aerial photography. I have flown aerial film work for the DIY Network, Dream Machines television show and have provided aerial photography & survey services for South Florida Water Management District, State of Florida Fish & Game Commission, Florida Hospital, Greater Orlando Aviation Authority and Bio-Tech Consulting just to name a few. My aircraft flight experience covers the Sikorsky S-58, Bell Jet Ranger, Robinson R44 and R66. Having been born and raised here in Orlando my favorite flight is to perform the Real Florida Eco Tours over the natural landscapes and waterways.
