I've been a career GIS user for 15+ years. I am particularly interested in extending Business Intelligence through spatial analysis. Examples include enhanced retail/real estate decision-making during site selection, trade area analysis, customer research, and marketing through demographic analysis.

I have been using Python more and more for process automation, developing new tools and database maniupulation.

Most of my career I've been in the ESRI camp, but am now starting to use more open-source tools (QGIS, PostGIS, GDAL/OGR, web-based GIS) so I can "choose the right tool" for the job.
