About
I come from an engineering background where I used GIS as a planning and design tool for utility and land development projects. I've seen the jump GIS tech has taken in the last several years and decided to find a role where I can work with GIS full time. At work, I'm great at fitting pieces of a complex problem together and I prioritize fairness, responsibility and treating people well.
When I'm not making a map in ArcGIS, I'm probably working on a new piece of wood furniture for my home, checking another national park off my list, or being walked by my dog, Camper.
