I’ve been using QGIS since 0.6 ‘Simon’ and teaching it since 1.0 ‘Kore’. In 2014 co-authored the GeoAcademy curriculum (https://fossgeo.org/)> Since I have authored/co-authored six QGIS books. The most recent being Discover QGIS 3.x and QGIS for Hydrological Applications. 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 help manage the QGIS Certification Program.
