Twelve years of experience developing, applying and instructing others in the use of GIS and remote sensing technologies for the improved understanding and management of natural resources in the U.S. and Canada. Proficient in the use of standard office software products as well as most data management programs, popular GIS and Remote Sensing software programs as well as GPS devices and associated software (MS Word, WordPerfect, Excel, Access, ArcInfo, ArcView, Erdas Imagine). Extensive experience with many different types of GIS data including satellite imagery, aerial photos, TIGER data, USGS Census data, National Wetland Inventory data and STATSGO AND SURGO soils data.
