I'm currently employed with the California Department of Water Resources as the technical lead for hydrography data stewardship. I'm a member of URISA and served a term as president of the Northern California Chapter, which is now merged with the California chapter. Serving as a board member for the California Geographic Information Association; served two terms as chair of the unofficial California GIS Council. I'm interested in learning methods for deriving hydrography from elevation, data stewardship, and anything that can help government do better regarding geographic data and data practices.
