Nik Smilovsky

Send us Fan MailOne of the only four Smilovsky's found in the contiguous United States, Nik's passion into GIS originally stemmed from his love of teaching. Nik thrives in providing students the tools and resources to enable them to learn and succeed in GIS in a classroom environment. Nik has been teaching for more than fifteen years at the community college level and at the university level. He also, has a few public speaking under his belt as well. We first touch on Nik's teaching experience and why that is important to him, then we talk about his current role as a Geospatial Solutions Director at Bad Elf, a low-cost GPS provider. Nik is also a licensed arborist, so we briefly touch on his thoughts on deforestation. Then, ending on how he and his buddies started their own GIS podcast, GeoHolics.  Support the show
