Our Team
Welcome to Resource Data’s Anchorage office, where work and play coexist in perfect harmony. Our team loves getting outdoors, from skiing and dog sledding to fishing and hiking.

Join us and experience a work culture that values collaboration, respect, and hard work.

Dave Matheson
ControllerWhether in a book or on a hiking trail, Dave likes a good adventure. He loves reading and discussing books with his book club (a favorite pick was Red Notice, by Bill Browder – a true story of high finance, murder, and one man’s fight for justice!) and exploring the Talkeetna Mountains. His all-time favorite trail leads to a well-preserved TB-29 Superfortress bomber plane that crashed on a glacier in 1957. As Resource Data’s controller, he enjoys diverse work, like multi-state taxation and emerging-issues research, and his super bright and very talented coworkers.

Mark Underwood
Sr. Programmer Anchorage, AKMark is a gamer, explorer, and musician. Games like Minecraft and Skyrim fill him with wonder and curiosity, while difficult games like Dark Souls have taught him about the thrill of hard-fought victory. He has traveled near and far, by plane, boat, and bicycle – his favorite destination being Ireland. And while he says he hasn’t mastered any particular instrument, he enjoys playing a small variety of them, including the drums, the tin whistle, and his own voice, which is the one he plays with the most skill.
What Mark likes best about Resource Data is its dedication to employees. He’s enjoyed seeing interns he’s mentored become long-term employees and appreciates the programmers, project managers, and admins that have helped him along his programming journey. It also doesn’t hurt that free food has a way of mysteriously arriving – and disappearing – from the kitchens in the building!A few of Mark’s favorite things
- Food Mac and cheese, the kind with real cheese and bacon
- Music Heavy/Power metal
- Video game Minecraft
- Board game Cranium
- Movie The Princess Bride
