What I Do

I manage a lot of the tech stuff for Kendall County’s GIS department. There’s a lot to it, but it’s a good mix of both Esri and Open-Source solutions.

I’m deeply familiar with the parcel fabric and the Arcade expression language.

My favorite, though? OpenStreetMap.

How I Work

You’ll probably catch me at a conference sometime, presenting a few sessions or giving workshops.

I love finding new ways to approach problems. I love learning from others, and sharing what I learn, too. I don’t actually like talking that much, but if you ask me a question about one of my passions, buckle up.

I am always ready to help troubleshoot. Hit me up in the Q&A boards!

Outside of that?

Husband, father of three boys.

I like biking, birding, foraging, hand crafts, and tinkering.
