Who We Are
Meet the Founders
Bill Shields
Chief Engineer
As Chief Engineer, Bill is responsible for leading the design, certification and deployment planning processes for Aero Documents. With nearly 20 years as a Designated Engineering Representative (DER), more than 700 FAA approvals, and countless hours invoicing, Bill and Peyson have developed Aero Documents to be the solution for improving and automating the client-to-FAA Designee (DERs, DARs, ODA Unit Members) communications and document management process.
He is an industry veteran of several highly respected avionics and aircraft OEMs, with a background in customer service, system and certification engineering as well as marketing, program development and operations management. Bill founded an independent FAA approved STC Organization Designation Authorization (ODA).
Bill holds FAA delegated authority in the areas of Electrical Systems, including EWIS, Test Plan Approval and Certification Management as a Designated Engineering Representative (DER). Bill is also delegated as an ODA administrator (Alternate) for one of his clients.
Peyson Shields-Mecke
President
As president of Aero Documents, Peyson leads marketing and business operations for the woman-owned, cloud-based aviation systems platform. Prior to co-founding Aero Documents, Peyson held a variety of roles in communications, sales and marketing for the world’s largest dairy cooperative. In addition, she established an independent communications consulting firm focused on strategic messaging and special projects.
While Peyson has spent the majority of her career in agriculture, growing up with her father — Bill Shields — as an engineer, her shift to aviation was a natural progression.
