I have been with the City for 24 years as a GIS Technician. I am also on the Board of Directors for NWGIS User Group. I love working with GIS, as frustrating, challenging and Interesting as it is. I look forward to seeing what other communities are developing at the conference. Working in a shop of three people I have the opportunity to work on most if not all of the data we use in our shop. Outside of work I have four grandchildren that keep me going all the time.
