After 3 years at Esri Australia, I joined Esri in Redlands in 1999, and currently manage the Map Exploration software development sub-team working on ArcGIS Pro. I get to design user interfaces, test software, and encourage people to get more out of their GIS software through presentations, demos, and blogs. I am particularly fond of 3D and animations.
