Welcome,
Come explore what sparks my curiostiy most...
My Geospatial Portfolio
Hello, my name is Evan and I am a GIS Specialist based in the New York City Metro Area.
My passion for maps emerged out of my curiosities in childhood. Growing up surfing, swimming, and exploring the beaches of
North Carolina ignited my interests in comprehending my environment and the creatures that live within it.
Pursuing these hobbies often required loading up meteorological data on the internet, which could be understood best by vieiwng the online maps available.
Carrying my interests into university, I decicded to base my mapping projects on evironmental and ecological phenomena of concern.
Centralizing my GIS projects on the natural world has been incredibly insightful and rewarding, and it is why I believe maps
are our window into the future. I hope you enjoy exploring some of my research below.

About Me
I am a Stony Brook University alumnus with a BS in Human Evolutionary Biology and a minor in Geospatial Science. I am passionate about cartographic design, geospatial information systems (GIS), computer-based biostatitsics, coding, and conservation biology. My passions derive from watching nature documentaries since childhood, such as Steve Irwin's iconic The Crocodile Hunter. I grew up along the beaches of Southeastern North Carolina where I would spend my time surfing, learning, and adventuring. I subsequently moved to New York to pursue my degree and to further explore our beautiful world.
