Originally trained as a global change biologist and tundra botanist, Brian currently serves as the Senior Software Architect for DTSAgile (www.dtsagile.com). With nearly ten years experience as a GIS software developer and architect, his professional and technical interests are primarily focused on moving clients toward more standard architecture and development practices and patterns to facilitate a closer integration of GIS with the standard IT enterprise. Brian has extensive experience in full software lifecycle management with a focus on delivering through agile project management methods. When he's not in the office, Brian can be found on his mountain bike, picking a bluegrass lick on the guitar, or standing in a river waving a stick.
