Me

My name is TJ Peiffer and I enjoy all things geospatial.

I am currently living in the Reno-Tahoe area and working as a Geospatial Data Manager at NM Group, a leading provider of LiDAR survey acquisition and engineering products. I wrote this site using less.js and a minimal boilerplate framework library called Jumpstartr.
