Like his feisty attack mode as well.

(3,100 posts)3. Yes, well said. I listened to a video of a speech
he gave in 2024 as keynote speaker at the Esri Users Conference. He's been into GIS for decades. I freely confess I know from Geospatial, but had to google GIS - geographic Informational systems. The speech was both informative and great fun to listen to. His enthusiasm is infectious.
