 My name is Peter Croswell and I'm a GIS instructor concentrating on geospatial project management. I've been in the GIS field for over 40 years as a practitioner, GIS manager, consultant, and teacher. I guess you could say I've been interested in geography and maps since I was a kid. I earned bachelor's and master's degrees in geography with specialization in cartography, remote sensing, and geomorphology. That positioned me pretty well in the late 1970s to get employment and learn a lot about the emerging field of GIS, and I haven't looked back since. Right now I run my own GIS and IT consulting practice, and in my years as a consultant I worked on a range of GIS projects for many government agencies, utility companies, and other organizations in the US, Canada, and around the world. So I try to bring this broad experience to the courses I teach. I stay active professionally, which includes my long involvement with the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association. I've done quite a bit of research and writing, including my authorship of the GIS management handbook. I do some woodworking in my home workshop. I like working with hardwoods and making furniture, cutting boards, decorative items, and other things. For the last 10 years I've worked as a volunteer with our local hospice group in central Kentucky, the Bluegrass Care Navigators. During the pandemic, when direct contact with patients was limited, I along with my wife and supported families that have lost their loved one through the delivery of compassion bags with words of sympathy and support. And also when time permits, my wife and I enjoy spending time with her five grandchildren. I look forward to seeing you in one of my courses. Thanks.
