More than 35 years after becoming GeoDecisions’ third employee, Dave Gilbert, GISP, remains loyal to the team, having witnessed many changes throughout the decades. What began as a paper-based mapping solutions venture technology firm has transformed into one of the industry’s leading innovative geographic information systems (GIS), geospatial, and data science technology firms, mirroring computer technological advancements.

There is more to Dave than meets the eye. His passion for GIS motivates him every day to help clients leverage the power of spatial data. Dave enjoyed a trip down memory lane as we asked him a few questions about his time with the company. Read his full Q&A here.
