Morongo Valley, California, United States
I connect geography, technology, and design to solve real-world problems. With 20+ years in GIS, I've helped organizations transform spatial data into actionable insight across civil engineering, land use, and environmental science. My background spans graphic design, cartography, coding, and digital visualization, complemented by hands-on craftsmanship in woodworking, metal fabrication, glassblowing, illustration, and 3D art. I'm driven by curiosity, thoughtful design, and building things that are both functional and beautiful.
