🌟 Employee Spotlight: Bruno Luna 🌟At Flagler County, we’re proud to spotlight Bruno Luna, our dedicated UAS Program Coordinator. With nearly 3 years of service, Bruno oversees the administration of our Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) program, handling everything from developing standard operating procedures to ensuring the safe integration of new drones into our fleet. As the county’s sole full-time pilot, Bruno plays a crucial role in enhancing our data collection capabilities and ensuring staff safety.🚀 Innovative Leadership: Bruno’s work is at the forefront of technology and efficiency. His visionary approach is reflected in the recent acquisition of our first Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) capable UAS. This milestone, supported by our IT CIO Matthew Rivera, represents a major leap in our capabilities, enabling us to conduct extensive long-range operations and detailed lidar scans of our coastline, all while enhancing safety and operational efficiency.❤️ Mentorship: Bruno credits much of his success to his wife, Brittney. Her honest feedback and unwavering support have been instrumental in guiding his career. 🌴 Outside the Office: When he’s not piloting drones, Bruno enjoys spending time with his family at the beach, hunting for shark teeth, and building drones. His adventurous spirit is also evident in his favorite vacation spot, Fernandina Beach, FL, and his impressive cross-country motorcycle journey on a Harley Sportster.🦉 Words of Wisdom: His personal motto, “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail” (Ralph Waldo Emerson), reflects his innovative approach to his work and life.🌟 A Few of his Favorite Things:📖 Hatchet🎥 Home Alone 2🍕 PizzaWe’re grateful for Bruno’s commitment and look forward to seeing where his trailblazing efforts take Flagler County next!What do you have in common with Bruno?
