Hello Everybody!
As the title says, I'm Jason and I will be joining you all in this fun mapping experience we are about to embark upon. A little about myself: I am 38 years old, married, and have two kids (ages 14 & 10). I have a BS in Computer Science and I am working on a second BS in Environmental Management. This second degree is just buying time as I work through the application process for the Master's program in GIS Administration. During my 20+ years in the work force I have worked in metal injection molding (we made small metal parts), I have been an officer in the Marine Corps (recently left the reserves as a Major), and since I left the active duty Marine Corps I have been working as a consultant with Booz Allen Hamilton where I have been on contract with the Navy for the last 4 years doing cyber security.
This will be my third/fourth GIS related course that I have/am taking here at UWF. Last semester I completed Intro to GIS and Photo Interpretation/Remote Sensing. This semester I am of course in this cartography course and am also taking GIS Management (an approved Master's level course).
My main goal right now is to execute a career transition from cyber security to that of forest management with the US Forest Service. This is the main reason as to why I am back in school while still working a full time job to support my family.
Adjectives that describe me: stubborn, determined, goal minded.
Below is my Story Map. You will see that I have been a few places in the world, some are pictured in the map, some are not. I have also been all over the USA. If you like what you see or have any questions about me or where I have been, comment below!
