What is Nomad
Nomad Technologies is a mobile comunications and command company which has hired me to run the GIS department. I am very excited for this job because it is in my field of interest and study. Nomad has contracts with the Forest Service, NASA,Amtrak , and many state and local governments. The company is located out of Kalispell, I have always wanted to be in the Flathead valley, and will allow me to travel all over the world. |
GIS
GIS stands for Geographic Information Systems. In esence computer mapping and modeling however GIS is much more than this. To have a deeper understanding of what GIS is one has to understand that GIS is a database storage and display tool. The maps that are generated are only a GUI interpretation of the database in question. |
I am finished with school this summer then going to work for Nomad. On a more personal, and far more exciting, note I am getting married here at the end of May to a beutiful, wonderful girl. We will soon be starting a life together in Kalispell and seeing where the future will take us. I will probably be working GIS mostly on forest fires around the country.
