About Me

I'm a geospatial analyst with experience in terrestrial, aerial, and marine data collection.

Projects have taken me from from creeks to rivers to reservoirs to mountains to highways to tunnels underground to elevated rails. I'm happy using the right tool for the right job, whether that's downloading a data layer from a government publisher, flying a drone overhead, or dropping a lead line to a lakebed.

Look at my resume.
