About Me
Hi, I’m Chase
I'm a geospatial analyst and developer, who originally hails from Fresno, CA but currently lives in Orange, CA. I recently graduated from the University of Southern California with a Master's in Geographic Information Science and Technology, and before that I got my Bachelor's degree from the University of California Santa Barbara in Anthropology and Sociology. I'm currently a Geospatial Intelligence Imagery Analyst for the U.S. Army Reserves and I work for Bedford Reinforced Plastics as a Project Estimator. I enjoy telling stories and relaying information through visualizations, dashboards, and front-end applications.
When I am not working, my wife and I spend much of our time chasing our toddler son around, he keeps us busy but it's worth it. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, playing video games, along with the many other hobbies I seem to cycle between.
