I am currently working for GIS Workshop, Inc in Lincoln, NE. I am a GIS Technician with many different responsibilities. I have helped three counties in Nebraska re-address from Rural Routes to Physical street addresses. I am an ESRI authorized instructor for Introduction to ArcGIS I course. It has been fun to teach others about GIS because it is a field many do not consider or know about, but it is something we use on a daily basis.
I do not one favorite geography class but if I had to choose it had to be ones taught by Dr. Wishart or Dr. Archer. I have some great memories with the Geography Student Organization with some camping trips and highway clean-up (some interesting things found at the side of the Interstate).

I have been working the geomatics industry in Calgary since I left UNL and completed an MBA in 2005. I am currently the Manager of Projects for the Geomatics Division of Colt Engineering. My favourite class was Advanced Topics in Remote Sensing, taught by Dr. N and Dr. Rundquist. The thing I miss most about UNL is the people. Great students, great staff. Life is not the same with out Joyce and Kathy putting me in my place.

Currently a 3rd year Ph.D. student in the Department of Geography at the University of Connecticut and teaching and introductory course in GIS at UConn. Hopefully will be done by August 2003. I am also in the dreadful process of looking for assistant professor jobs. If possible, I would like to stay in the New England area. I really miss going to Nebraska Football games. They never put them on TV enough here in the Northeast.
Shawn Slade, M.A., 2007
Major: Geography, with a Specialization in Geography/Remote Sensing
Thesis Title: "A Comparative Analysis of Per-Pixel Classification Techniques Versus Boolean Logic Classification Techniques: An Economical and Practical Approach"
Currently I work for Leica Geosystems selling airborne digital cameras and LiDAR sensors. Previously, I was the Western Regional Sales Manager for Sanborn Mapping, and prior to that I worked for 5 1/2 years at Leica Geosystems GIS & Mapping selling and training on ERDAS IMAGINE and Leica Photogrammetry Suite software.
Away from work, I have 2 daughters who keep me very busy. I have also taken up the sport of Marathon Running in a goal to run one in each of the 50 states. As if that weren't enough, I have now decided to put my body through the rigors of triathlons and road cycling.
