I started Orienteering by taking a college class at SIU-Carbondale.   I ended up liking it so much I ended up changing my major to Cartography.   I have not looked back since.  I have been a member of a few clubs and most recently have helped start Nashville Orienteering.  I am a certified Orienteering Coach through OUSA.

I am still very active going to Orienteering Meets and starting programs for organizations. 

My mapping experience is extensive with over 25 maps in my portfolio.    I map using Lidar and Drone Aerials taken by me (Licensed drone pilot).  I am either out mapping or Orienteering but the most joy I get out of it is showing others how to be successful in this exciting sport.
