Biography

I am a GIS Specialist in the Aerial Mapping group at Ayres’ Madison, Wisconsin, office. My efforts are mostly focused around the processing of airborne LiDAR, but I also handle many of the GIS duties for the Geospatial division. I perform spatial analysis, create custom maps and graphics for a variety of clients, and do research and development tasks related to LiDAR derivatives such as 3D building extraction and tree canopy modelling. I have extensive experience with spatial modelling, scripting, and custom application development as well as data conversion and integration.
