More Than Just Maps
Navigating the world of GIS takes more than being able to make a pretty map. Between the science, technology, and artistic design required to be successful in the geospatial field, things can get confusing. Join us as we talk with GIS veterans and geniuses who know a thing or two about how to find your way from student to professional and beyond, while also chatting about some neat tools, tricks, and trends. Presented by the URISA Texas Chapter.

Episode 7
On this week’s episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Tom Fisher of Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Tom and I discuss how he got his first taste of GIS as an eagle scout mapping out fire hydrants for his local community, before starting a degree in forestry. His love of nature eventually lead him back to GIS and some pretty resourceful strategies to get into the companies where he saw himself thriving.
