Ambassador Spotlight ‘Francisco Gonzales’

Welcoming Francisco Gonzales our latest Brand Ambassador covering from southern California to Las Vegas, USA:

How did you get into surveying? I went to school for aviation where I discovered the extent of the drone industry and its applications for mapping. My start was in multispectral mapping for agriculture using drones. I then moved to the defense industry and now work in the survey and mapping industry. I have a passion for collecting accurate data to create maps that are able to direct decisions and help planning efforts.

What are your plans as a Brand Ambassador? I think this is a great program. I live in a relatively low income area that does not have a lot of outreach programs for kids to get into STEM. It is really important to show kids these possible career paths to help better their communities.

Tell us a bit about what you do: In my current role as a Sales Engineer I work with a lot of surveyors that are trying to stay at the cutting edge of technology. I spent a lot of time educating how a new product could make their job easier, faster, and more accurate.

Anything else you’d like to add? I hold numerous FAA licenses for both manned, unmanned and ground instruction.
