2004 -  2007
Team Leader and GIS Analyst

I Supervised personnel in providing terrain analysis products using GIS software for the executive leadership, staff and subordinate staffs for Operational Plans OPLAN, exercises and deployments. Provided technical guidance to subordinates in the production of the products .I was responsible for $5 million worth of terrain computer systems .I was picked to deploy with the CJSOTF AP 10th SFG AB Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force Arabian Peninsula Tenth Special Forces Air Born to Iraq .I was the only Topographic Sergeant and analyst for 4 out of the 8 months .I was in charge of controlling all production and distribution .I collected all data from the theatre of operation to create and produce real world mission products .I briefed daily on topographic production and worked hand in hand with Imagery Analyst to receive Imagery for on the spot production .I created River studies and bridge analyses for the Navy SEAL Special operations. Produced Route analysis for convoys. Modified combined obstacle overlays. Using the blue prints for various cities would query house locations which led to the retrieval of US kidnapped personell. Some products were of different known areas of interest they were happy snaps then after a mission they were claimed to be mosque. We would have to go back and analyze the imagery and compare to insure the analysis was conducted properly. Depending on the type of product to be produced we would use different software packages and extensions. We would use Arc GIS, ERDAS Imagine, FalconView and RemoteView. My work ethics and production experience raised the map distribution 60% with over 90 high profile enemy fighters killed or captured.

2002 -  2004
GIS Analyst

I deployed with the 1st Armored Division during OIF 1 for 15 months creating map products for the entire division .I was 1 of 2 personnel on the night shift .I was in charge of retrieving and updating vector and raster data and manipulating it for real world missions .I was in charge of the production and distribution of digital and hard copy products. Most vector data was digitized into a. shp file and distributed out in either a geodatabase or shapefiles WinZipped onto cd s or dvd s. Products were received in RFI s either hard or soft copy in shop or via email. When RFI s were complete the data would need to be updated. New products would be produced to better mission capabilities. We started producing products for certain individuals and by the time we left each unit would have there own list of specialized products that were catered for there mission requirements.
I produced products using the following programs ESRI Arc GIS Arc Map, Arc Toolbox. Arc View, Erdas Imagine, Tera Explorer and Tera Builder sky view.
