We are passionate about geography, travelling and using GPS technology to help create products to help our fellow travelers and geographic decision makers.

I graduated magna cum laude from Rowan University in 1998 with a degree in Geography. Since then, I have worked in the GPS industry and traveled this beautiful earth. I have travelled to Greece, Bahamas, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, Australia, Whistler- British Columbia, South Africa, Bermuda, Mexico and Costa Rica. Too many places left to visit and not enough time!

GIS Data Systems was born after a trip to Costa Rica and many failed attempts at finding a good house investment.

Before my trip to Costa Rica I had bought a Garmin GPS unit - not an in car navigation system. The reason I bought the GPS unit was to help me orientate my way around Costa Rica. The trip I had planned was going to be a surfing trip from Malpais to Tamarindo. Before I left for my trip, I had searched for many maps and garmin maps. I was shocked that there was not a single detailed map available for this section of Costa Rica. Basically, I travelled the back roads through jungles, rivers and beaches with not a single good map. When I got back to the states it made me want to create a map for surfers, hikers and explores to travel while in Costa Rica.

The second product created was a spreadsheet to search for a piece of real estate. While searching for a home in the city of Philadelphia, I was inundated with many choices of homes and not enough information - what are the taxes? is there a transfer tax? what is the correct sq. ft? Could you compare this against two other homes as you would while searching for a car? What I received was the run around by many agents who just wanted to sell me a home so they could make a commission. I found it strange that the average person when buying a car researches the options, but when buying a home, the largest invest that they will ever make, they simple rely on an real estate agent. A real estate agent who may only have been in the business for a short time. So I develop a spreadsheet that will help you compare different homes and come to a logical decision instead of an emotional one.

What has been developed is a company that will attempt to use geographic knowledge to help the public travel, explore and make logical every day decisions based on geographical data.
