Chad Cooper has worked in the geospatial industry over the last 15 years as a technician, analyst, and developer, pertaining to state and local government, oil and gas, and academia. For the last 3 years, he has worked as a solutions engineer, consulting on the State and Local Government team with Geographic Information Services, Inc. At work, he couldn't be happier spending the day writing Python and helping clients get the most out of their data through the use of the Esri platform. At home, he enjoys hanging out with his gorgeous wife of 12 years and their 3 wonderful children. They enjoy hiking, fishing, and doing nothing on a nice beach. Chad has a bachelor's degree from the Mississippi State University and a master's degree from the University of Arkansas, both in geology.
