I have worked with geospatial information systems for more than 25 years. Began in solid earth and environmental sciences. Later at Syncline, Inc., I worked on the design of the company’s two major geospatial products, MapCiti and MapAccess, as well as leading a series of engagements with the Open Geospatial Consortium and other organizations. These engagements included Open Web Services testbeds, specification development (e.g. Web Map Server, OGC Catalog, Styled Layer Descriptor), and several pilot projects. Subsequently as VP of Enterprise Architecture at Traverse Technologies, Inc., I later expanded my interests and work to the geospatial semantic web, spatial data infrastructure issues, GeoRSS, and W3C spatial ontologies. I served as coordinating architect for a number of OGC initiatives such as the OGC Geospatial Semantic Web Interoperability Experiment, CGDI Interoperability Pilot, GEOSS Architecture Implementation Pilot, and OGC Web Services Testbed. I co-chair the OGC Geosemantics working group, and participate in a variety of specification activities. Occasionally I provide technology development, strategic guidance, and architectural consulting services for a number of governmental and commercial clients interested in geospatial interoperability and sound business practices. Currently I am a Senior Manager in the Geospatial Analytics group at Deloitte LLP.
