Kevin Jenkins grew up outside of Portland, Oregon, near the airport where he first learned to fly. In 2009, he earned a degree in Aerospace Engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona. Kevin spent several years as a test engineer and UAV (uncrewed air vehicle) operator, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. After returning to the United States, he was soon drawn back into the field of uncrewed aircraft. What began as a hobby in his garage developed into a full-time career, working with several companies developing small UAVs for civilian applications. Kevin is deeply passionate about the science of uncrewed flight and its potential to shape the world we live in. See less
