According to Vanessa Hickman, Executive Director of the State Land Dept. "Curtis has lived and worked in Wisconsin for many years as
that state’s Geographic Information Officer (GIO), where he was responsible for
the statewide coordination of all GIS partnerships and resources. One of
his key recent accomplishments was building and implementing a State Spatial
Data Repository. This experience will serve him and the Land Department
well as we continue our efforts as a member of the Governor’s Natural Resource
Review Council (NRRC), the NRRC GIS subcommittee and the NRRC Clearinghouse
subcommittee. Within this GIO role, Curtis has routinely been called upon
to lead coordination meetings with public stakeholders, legislators and
business executives in order to design and optimize GIS solutions at the
statewide level.
Curtis also worked for nearly a decade for the Wisconsin
Department of Transportation as GIS manager. Before that he lived and
worked in Arizona for Pima County as a GIS professional, so he is familiar with
many of the unique challenges and opportunities we manage."
