SPEAKERS

Mike DeBoer:
M.S. Geography, University of Nebraska at Omaha
3D Practice Lead Lamp Rynearson & Associates, Inc.

Mike has been a GIS professional since 2015 and is currently working as the 3D Practice Lead for Lamp Rynearson Engineering. During his time at Lamp Rynearson, he has focused on creating support for GIS applications to help engineers with preliminary planning, research, and marketing to new clients. He holds an FAA Drone Pilot license and assists Lamp Rynearson’s survey department with drone and Scanning Survey work.

His previous work experiences include Support Analyst for ESRI in Redlands, California, and GIS Technician for Pottawattamie County GIS Department.

While getting his Master’s Degree, he focused on using GIS for Location Analytics. During that time, Mike worked with the Omaha Fire Department and used them as a case study to identify gaps in coverage for his thesis. His thesis results were adapted by the Omaha Fire Department and used to help them create a 50-year build plan.

Joe Sather:
LS Surveyor/GIS Technician - JEO Consulting Group Inc.

I have been working as a Surveyor at JEO Consulting Group’s Wahoo office since 2006. I perform various surveying tasks for JEO, such as drafting, GIS mapping, and project management. While I have worked on large and small projects over the last 15 years, the most memorable of them involve developing efficient workflows or processes to collect, analyze, and deliver data.

I grew up in the small town of Bennington, Nebraska (when it was still small). I feel fortunate to be able to live and work and raise my family in the small town of Wahoo. I have three children, and I spend most of my spare-time at their sporting events or school activities.

My love for the outdoors initially drew me to surveying. I enjoy both hunting and fishing. It is rewarding to be able to share these hobbies with my children.
