In this episode, we welcome Josh Metz, Executive Director and Co-Founder of the Monterey Bay DART Initiative. Josh shares his winding career path from environmental biology and landscape architecture to leading regional economic development at the Fort Ord Reuse Authority and co-founding Monterey Bay DART.
Topics covered include the origins of MB DART (Drones, Automation, and Robotics Technology), partnerships with universities and industry, the FAA's UAS Integration Pilot Program, and the role of Joby Aviation in establishing a regional advanced air mobility cluster. Josh discusses workforce development programs, apprenticeship initiatives supported by the James Irvine Foundation, and real-world applications of drones and eVTOLs for public safety, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure inspection.
Tune in for insights on technology’s intersection with environmental stewardship, community development, and the 2026 Monterey Bay DART Live Summit (March 31–April 2, 2026) — plus personal stories from Josh’s fieldwork, lessons learned from Fort Ord’s reuse, and what innovation could look like over the next decade.
