I have attended some of the meetings with IGIC and was involved on the decorations committee for the ITAG 2023 Conference, including the Pacman backdrops and centerpieces for the tables. I have been a GIS professional for 30+ years, am a Enterprise geodatabase specialist using Oracle Spatial, Postgres/PostGIS and SQL Server database environments, and have Python, pL/SQL and pL/pgSQL automation and in-database analytics experience as well. I hope to bring my expertise and energy to the council to support other GIS professional around the state of Iowa.
