Bio
David Viertel
Coy is dedicated, driven worker. His attention to detail and commitment to quality are exceptional. He is a team player, but has a noteworthy ability to deliver results independently without micromanagement. I highly recommend his abilities and work ethic.
Barry Kronenfeld
Coy has an excellent understanding of the integration of GIS and relational databases, and is always diligent and professional. He helped clean and organize a very messy GIS-relational database, and discovered and corrected numerous errors during the process that many people would have missed. I highly recommend him.
