Over the years Kasey has had the opportunity to gain experience in a wide variety of GIS applications, from web mapping to GIS analysis to data collection to computer programming. In particular, he enjoys teaching GIS concepts, and has had the opportunity to provide onsite training to many cities, counties, and other organizations in Utah and other western states to help them further their GIS efforts. Kasey has served on the UGIC Board since 2013, and has had the opportunity to teach workshops during past UGIC conferences where he has been able to get to know many GIS users around the state. When not at work, his favorite activities still have a tie to geography. Kasey enjoys taking his family hiking, camping, geocaching, and exploring around in general.

Bio: André Coleman is a senior research scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (16-years) and currently resides in Salt Lake City, Utah. He brings 24-years of experience in the fields of geoinformatics, hydrology, and computer science with significant experience and research interests in spatial and numerical modeling, water resources, bioenergy modeling, estuarine systems modeling, disaster response, climate analysis, data fusion, machine learning, high-performance computing, photogrammetry and remote-sensing. These specialties have been applied to numerous local, regional, national, and global scale environmental and energy-related projects. Mr. Coleman graduated with a BS in Geography and Earth Resources from Utah State University in 1995 with emphases in GIS, hydrology, and fluvial geomorphology. In 2008, he completed an MS (cum laude) in Geoinformatics at the Vrije Universiteit, The Netherlands and won the International Award of Academic Excellence in Geoinformatics for his work in neural-based classifiers. Mr. Coleman is currently pursuing a Ph.D. from Clemson University with a focus on the water-energy-environment nexus and sustainable systems. To date, he has authored or co- authored 28 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters.

Bio: Chris McGinty is the associate director of the Remote Sensing/GIS Laboratory at Utah State University. He has spent more than 14 years using geospatial technology in both private and academic settings. As a student when command line was still the best way to conduct geospatial analysis, Chris had the opportunity to observe and take part in the paradigm shift in the way we teach and use geospatial tools. Throughout Chris’ time at Utah State University, he has had the opportunity to engage hundreds of students in Introduction to Geographic Information Science as well as Advanced Geographic Information Systems courses he has taught. As many know, teaching these rapidly evolving courses can be very challenging, but above the challenge, extremely rewarding. Chris will bring a great level of enthusiasm and excitement to the position and would look forward to supporting UGIC in its efforts to further and promote the teaching and use of geospatial technologies as well as enhancing the connection and participation of Utah’s K-12 schools and high education institutions.

Bio: Shawn is the GIS Administrator for Spanish Fork City taking the GIS there from humble beginnings to a massive program everyone uses. Done through building an enterprise GIS and Databases, incorporating field collection, dashboards, online maps/apps, asset management (using GIS), starting utility networks, ArcGIS QuickCapture and incorporating as many ESRI GIS tools as he could.
He graduated from BYU with a B.S. in GIS and Cartography in 1998. He’s had various GIS experiences, including working as a mapping intern at BYU, an intern for the City of Springfield, MO, a GIS Specialist for an Engineering Firm in Kansas City, MO, and a GIS Specialist II in Logan, UT until he landed in Spanish Fork in 2003. He received his GISP in 2011, has presented at UVGIS, UGIC, ESRI SWUC, and ESRI UC, and published an article in the Fall 2018 ArcNews. He has served on the UVGIS Board, and is a proud member of UMETT.
He is a strong advocate of GIS, and his motto at work is “If you build it, they will come.” He loves seeing the excitement in others as GIS improves their lives through the tools we build. He is excited to serve the members of UGIC. When he is not at work, he enjoys spending time with family, canoeing, fishing, swimming, camping, boating, being on a beach, exploring Utah’s wonders, and just being outside.
