My experience includes over 200 hours of drone PIC flying. I have conducted more than 600 flights, including night flights in accord with my FAA night waiver. I have taught drone classes (ground and flight) and digital photography to adults for several years and am a contributor to Getty Images, among others. I have over 2,300 hours as a pilot, more than half giving flight instruction. For examples of my photography and video work go to lerichards.com.

I have specific experience in the fields of real estate, computer technology, photography and video, in addition to drone and aviation fields. I hold a BSc from Ohio State in Education (Music) and a JD from JFK University. I am retired military (Army & Air National Guard) and have been employed in the fields of professional music, data processing, flight instruction, college teaching, and law. Insurance is available as needed.
