About
I’m a geography nerd for a reason. I hold AA, BS, and MS degrees in geography from College of DuPage and Northern Illinois University. By education and training, I am a geographic information systems (GIS) coordinator in regional government in the Chicago suburbs. I also work as a GIS consultant part-time for a regional planning commission. I enjoy using GIS to identify patterns and help solve geographic problems.
Geography has also worked its way into my hobbies. I enjoy geocaching, which is a GPS-based scavenger hunt. The combination of technology and maps have brought this nerd outdoors to discover his surroundings. I geocache under the handle “geognerd.” I also enjoy taking photographs. My best photos can be seen at my Flickr page.
Other interests include motorsports, tech gadgets, computing, news, and politics. I’m slightly left of center politically.
My blog serves as a personal platform for sharing my opinions and knowledge.
I’m 27 years old and reside in Chicago’s northwest suburbs.
