About me
Nat's work focuses on applied spatial statistics and spatial software development to address health, mobility, and urban sustainability issues for primarily nonprofit clients. He maintains Close, a nationwide multimodal travel time database; and OpenPOIs, a unified open dataset for points of interest.
Before starting his firm, Nat worked on global-scale disease mapping with the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. He holds a doctorate from the University of Oxford, where he developed new spatial statistical techniques for health data, and undergraduate degrees in GIS and Urban Studies from Ohio State. Nat is also the president of Cascadia Users of Geospatial Open Source (CUGOS) and would love to see you at a chapter meeting!
