SUMMARY:

Over 20 years of experience in GIS and data management. Always looking for new and unique challenges that push implementation technologies. The last several years of my career have been focused on Enterprise Architecture which has included GIS, data virtualization, inventory management, Master Data Management, and information architecture. I have implemented multiple canonical and enterprise data models using data virtualization technologies and understand how to navigate through the minefields that lead to a successful implementation.
