-Hi, welcome to my users page.  I work for the NoSQL database company [http://www.couchbase.com '''Couchbase'''] (and formerly in Big Data analytics at [http://www.actian.com '''Actian/Ingres''']), focusing on product marketing.

+A brief look at my OSGeo-related past...  I originally proposed the idea of OSGeo back in 2004/2005. When Dave McIlhagga and Gary Lang put their support behind it, the effort really took off, bringing in dozens more open source geo project leaders and communities.  As OSGeo's [[Executive Director]] (2006-2011) I ran the day to day operations and together we all kept moving open source geospatial technology to the forefront.  Another way I was doing this was to get quality '''book/training material''' into the marketplace.  After [http://webmappingillustrated.com '''my book'''] (Web Mapping Illustrated) was published in 2005, the need for such '''support material''' has become even clearer - business, government and academia (as well as professionals in general) all need high quality material that is reliable in the '''long term'''.  Learn more about [http://locatepress.com '''Locate Press'''].
