Hi, I'm the owner/publisher of Locate Press and author of Geospatial Power Tools - GDAL/OGR Command Line Tools (Locate Press) and Web Mapping Illustrated (O'Reilly, 2005).
I've worked for a variety of database and consulting companies over the years including OmniSci (GPU analytics) - Couchbase (NoSQL) - Actian/Ingres (big data analytics)). In these companies I worked in Product Marketing, Product Management, and Engineering Management. In my earlier GIS consulting work I've managed natural resource datasets for forestry, mining, and hydro companies across British Columbia.
I'm proud to have launched Locate Press several years ago, as the first publication focused on open source geospatial topics! Gary Sherman ran it for ten years and grew the book list to 15 titles. We continue to partner on projects. Check out the other dozen or so open source mapping and GIS data books.
A brief look at my OSGeo-related past... I originally proposed the idea of OSGeo back in 2004/2005. When Dave McIlhagga and Gary Lang put their support behind it, the effort really took off, bringing in dozens more open source geo project leaders and communities. As OSGeo's Executive Director (2006-2011) I ran the day to day operations and together we all kept moving open source geospatial technology to the forefront. Another way I was doing this was to get quality book/training material into the marketplace. After my book (Web Mapping Illustrated) was published in 2005, the need for such support material has become even clearer - business, government and academia (as well as professionals in general) all need high quality material that is reliable in the long term. Learn more about Locate Press.
