I’ve been using QGIS since 0.6 ‘Simon’ and teaching it since 1.0 ‘Kore’. I co-authored the GeoAcademy curriculum (https://fossgeo.org/) and then published it as "Discover QGIS". Prior to that I co-authored "Mastering QGIS" and am currently working on the 3rd edition. QGIS is my day to day tool for spatial analyses and cartography. I regularly teach everything from conference workshops to full semester courses (at my local colleges and universities). In 2015 I was part of the GeoAcademy team awarded the GeoForAll Educator of the Year award. I am an Osgeo Charter Member, a GeoForAll lab and GeoAmbassador. I recently helped revive the QGIS-US user group. I have also been involved with QGIS Certifications, helping approve QGIS organizations.

**Motivation:** I love the QGIS community and have been looking for more ways to contribute and be of service. I also feel the outgoing PSC did an incredible job. For me it was a great honor just to be nominated. I hope that the fact that I am not a developer, rather a power user and educator/trainer, means I might bring a different viewpoint to the PSC. That of a small business offering QGIS services but not directly working on QGIS. Since I’m a North American (I’d rather not be considered an American at the moment) I would also represent a different part of the world. **Motivation:** I love the QGIS community and have been looking for more ways to contribute and be of service.
