I currently am the GIS Coordinator for the St. Tammany Parish Assessor's Office in Covington, Louisiana. I graduated from Louisiana State University in 2006 with a Bachelor's Degree in Geography, and am pursuing a Master's Degree in Digital Mapping at the University of Kentucky. My research interests include the cultural significance of maps and cartographers, subsistence strategies of Arctic cultures, and cartographic design for digital platforms. I enjoy traveling, running, photography, gardening, and spending time with my wife and dogs.
