A true-blue civil servant, Tom has been a staple of the local government scene since 2012, serving many roles before landing his GIS Manager dream job with the Salt Lake City Corporation. Nowadays, he manages the GIS efforts of the Engineering Division, including the oversight and coordination of the Division’s drone program. He is a strong believer in the beauty and value of maps, having showcased many of his own pieces in professional galleries and publications. Prior to earning his M.S. in Geography from the University of Utah, Tom served his community and country as a Firefighter/EMT and before that, a U.S. Army Paratrooper. Whenever he’s not making real maps, he’s either riding his bike or making pretend maps while playing Dungeons & Dragons with his family and friends.
