I met Brian at the ESRI User's conference in 2004 and was immediately impressed with his enthusiasm for GIS and his incredible networking skills. He takes the lead on every front, he knows 1,000 different people in the applied GIS world, and he has enough energy for 10 people. He enrolled in our Ph.D. program and became active in a teaching capacity in our GIS professional masters degree program. The students enjoy his spirit in the classroom and his work as an instructor has been exemplary. He has some of the highest teaching evaluations in the program. Brian will be a credit to any organization sharing in his professional growth -- I would strongly recommend him for positions throughout the GIS universe.
