  • Dream vacation destinations? Australia or New Zealand
  • A favorite project you’ve worked on? The development of the original IFRIS portal for Virginia Department of Forestry because it was the first spatial accomplishment project of its kind
  • Where did you grow up? Marlton, NJ – South Jersey (bordering the Pine Barrens!) – we do work with the New Jersey Forest Fire Service, so I get back there a bit now!
  • Favorite meal is? Anything on the grill
