GIS & Cartography Specialist

With +25 years of experience in GIS, I help my clients unlock the power of GIS. My mission is to provide tailored GIS products and services designed specifically for you! I help clients build location-based systems that are both technically solid and visually intuitive. Now semi-retired, I take on select freelance projects where I can add real value or simply help someone out. As a native English speaker with 25+ years in GIS, I bring both clear communication and deep technical expertise. I work independently, ask the right questions early, and deliver work that’s QA’d, functional, and built to spec — because after 25 years in GIS, I know what actually works in the field. ✅ 25+ Years of Experience – Trusted GIS expertise across dozens of projects ✅ Vendor-neutral – ESRI Ecosystem or Open Source to best support your needs ✅ Quality You Can Trust – GIS workflows—done right the first time ✅ Exclusive Knowledge & Tools – Instant access to my extensive library of templates, styles, scripts, work instructions and more ✅ Business Continuity – Clear metadata, documentation and data stewardship I'm proud to say that I'm platform agnostic, equally adept with open-source tools as well as industry leaders like ArcGIS from ESRI. This flexibility ensures the GIS solutions I provide fit both the needs and the budget of my clients. My passion for breaking down barriers to geospatial data access and utilization is reflected in how I work with clients and the products I deliver. I'm here to empower you and your entire team, regardless of your level of expertise. Whether you need a single map or a comprehensive GIS strategy, my expertise is your competitive advantage. I take pride in delivering user-friendly, customized solutions that provide tangible support to your business. Let's put you on the Map!
