Road crew here. Expertise in gates and functional classification.

Very deep local knowledge of SE Louisiana to include New Orleans and Baton Rouge area, San Antonio, Texas, and South Florida.

Former Marine who was stationed in Georgia.

I am active on OSM Discord as well as the OSM Slack channels.

I’ve been a map editor since Microsoft Streets and Trips days in the late 1990s. Got real heavy into it with Waze, where I wrote the wiki on gates and private entrances. Was in charge of Texas and Oklahoma where I learned about functional classification of roads and have seen navigation change a lot because of that.

Almost all of my jobs I’ve held have had to do with driving. Military, pizza, grocery delivery, EMS. I’ve been to just over half of the country with most of that driving. I’m also an avid scuba diver.

I’m always open to discussion of map edits and how to get people from point A to point B.
