Professional Journey

A growing field with room to grow.

You don’t need a degree in GIS to excel in this growing field. Many of our team members were drawn to the technology while using it in previous jobs like fighting wildfires, tracking caribou herds, or mapping the ocean floor and decided to pursue a career in it.

With the variety of GIS work you can do here, there’s plenty of room to grow. Our friendly team’s depth of experience means you can always find the support you need to venture outside your existing skillsets and try something new. Do you like a lot of short or medium-term projects to keep things interesting? You can do that here. Prefer a long-term assignment where you can dig in and get to know your client? You can do that here, too.

My career at Resource Data has been highlighted by the diversity of projects that I’ve worked on. Something that I really enjoy seeing is how GIS provides solutions for so many different industries. From major oil companies to a small local commercial real estate business, there’s a ton of potential and benefit from implementing the types of services that we provide.

The Work

Always a new challenge. Always variety.

At Resource Data, we use GIS to help clients in a huge range of fields. We’ve developed story maps that helped rural communities make decisions on important infrastructure projects and guided redistricting for a major city. We’ve helped modernize GIS data storage and workflows. We’ve automated a reporting system for snowplows, cleaned up network data for utility companies, and built apps that track and report on wildfire smoke to help improve safety and health in nearby communities.

I have never been in a position like the one at Resource Data. Here I am constantly working with different industries, learning new systems, and gaining experience that would be next to impossible in other GIS jobs.

Connor Taylor
GIS Programmer Anchorage, AK

Connor says Anchorage is just 20 minutes from Alaska. He loves living so close to the pristine wilderness where he enjoys almost all outdoor activities, from camping and hiking to cross country skiing, rafting, and trail running. He spent four years as a geologist traveling across Alaska and using GIS to display and analyze data collected in the field. He joined Resource Data in 2022 as a GIS programmer/analyst and appreciates the emphasis the company puts on employees and encouraging growth.

Sr. GIS Programmer Houston, TX

Dave loves working with data and performing spatial analysis to create beautiful maps and solve problems for his clients in a wide range of industries. After working in the mortgage industry, he went back to school for a degree in geography and joined Resource Data in 2013 as a GIS programmer/analyst. He’s a native Texan, but during a three-year stint living in Jakarta, Indonesia in the 1990s, he turned his childhood soccer hobby into a full-blown passion playing for the Jakarta International School and traveling all over southeast Asia.

Rich Wawrzonek
GIS Lead Anchorage, AK

Rich joined Resource Data in 2008. He likes that GIS is constantly evolving, so there is always something new to learn and explore. Work-life balance is important to him, so when he’s not exploring the world of GIS, he spends the summers exploring the coves of Prince William Sound on his boat or catching up on woodworking and remodeling projects, snowboarding, and traveling with his wife in the winters. He also enjoys playing darts. If you challenge him to a game, plan on losing. He’s competed in the steel-tip national finals four times.
