An unabashedly curious ideologue. Champion of ~mediocrity~ adequacy.
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.
