I am an architect and planner by trade. Professionally, I have been in the GIS industry for many years and have served in a variety of positions from a GIS analyst to manager, from a city planner to a planning director and from a professor to a business executive. As the current Global Director of Product Management at Pitney Bowes, I am dedicated to advancing the application of enterprise geospatial solutions and delivering global access to knowledge of GIS by promoting geospatial intelligence as the industry standard technology. Previously, I served as Esri’s Global Industry Manager for Planning and Community Development and Director of PLACES in California and a GIS Manager and instructor at the University of Texas at Austin.
When I am not working, teaching, or writing, I enjoy spending time with my wonderful wife and three beautiful sons and love to compete in powerlifting, when time permits.
