Excited for the upcoming Esri User Conference! My spouse will be presenting at the Education Summit, and we’re starting off the week with Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas at The Rady Shell. Can’t wait!
Wonder why scientists are trying to bring back dinosaurs? They are practicing using CRISPR tech. This is the outcome, gene editing saved the first life. This is the result of decades of federal research funding.

I just met with 5 government agencies to coordinate more streamlined data sharing and everyone agreed to my solutions 😳 I’ve never been in such a successful government meeting. Building relationships is paramount to collaboration.
I’m excited to share that I’ve designed and will be teaching a brand-new course at the University of South Carolina: Web GIS Studio (GEOG 310-002) — launching Fall 2025!
Ha, this is so funny
Remember how a fraction of this was done by Clinton.

Tax wealth, not work.
I found a whale!
Took my Digital Earth class to the South Caroliniana Library today to check out some of the historical maps in their archives. Amazing to see how cartography has changed over time! #DigitalEarth #GEOG105 #UofSC #SouthCarolinianaLibrary #maps #history
Sheinbaum’s leadership is a breath of fresh air—bold, smart, and exactly what Mexico and the world needs right now. bit.ly/3Q15uda
Wow, this is so impressive. I'm in awe.
That is super cool
When GIS is used in a completely non-GIS-using field, at the University of South Carolina, the Career Center's Employer Engagement team uses ArcGIS Dashboards and Storymaps to analyze where students are applying and what jobs are being posted. This helps them engage with employers more effectively.
What’s the most exciting or unexpected way you’ve seen geospatial technology make a difference? #GISChat
I'm glad you're here.
I'm currently using AI to help me study for the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam.
AI isn’t just a tool; it’s a collaborator. It’s not about what AI can replace—it’s about what it can empower. Amplifying creativity, refining workflows, and building smarter solutions is just the start. How are you teaming up with AI? Share your thoughts and let’s learn together!
To stay innovative, we need to look beyond our own field. Whether it’s borrowing storytelling from journalism, UX from tech, or predictive analytics from data science, cross-pollination of ideas fuels better geospatial solutions. What fields inspire your GIS work? Let’s talk.

Here's the thing: When you look at challenges geographically, you naturally see how everything connects. Spatial thinking at the top breaks down silos because space is the one thing every department shares.
Organizations struggle with silos because they organize by function. Finance does finance. Facilities does facilities. Each in their own corner. But real-world problems don't care about our org charts.
Weekend reflection: The most powerful leadership lesson I've learned as a GIO isn't about technology - it's about perspective.
The new datum makes my brain hurt.
