Hello Everyone my name is Harry Sandoval. I am almost one year into the Masters in GIS at UWF. I work as a Natural Resource Manager for a local government agency that is primarily responsible for management and monitoring of endangered and special status species in Riverside County California. Over the last few years I have been working to create more efficient ways of carrying out land management activities and GIS has been an integral part of the projects I have been working on. I have managed to get our agency to integrate GIS into various tasks such as species monitoring and tracking, land protection and security and invasive species monitoring. As GIS analysis and tasks have become more complicated for me I figured it was time for me to go back to school and learn new techniques and practices. I hope to gain more experience in remote sensing and practical applications of GIS in relation to natural resource management. 

When I am not working or spending long nights working on assignments for school I try and spend as much time as I can with my wife and our 8 year old daughter and 1 year old son.

Below is the link to my story map which takes you on a short journey to some of my favorite camping areas mostly along the coast of California. I look forward  to the days when both are kids are old enough to take long car rides and go on epic camping adventures.
