Team Spotlight | Andrew Valenski

We’re pleased to announce the addition of Andrew Valenski to our team! Andrew will be working as an Enterprise Solutions Engineer, and will lend his talents and help our business grow through his knowledge and expertise in the ArcGIS field.
Now let’s get to know Andrew a little better with another great Q&A!

What is your role at GeoMarvel?

I serve as an Enterprise Solutions Engineer for GeoMarvel. In this role, I work with clients to design, deploy, and maintain Enterprise GIS systems, automate geospatial workflows, and develop Web GIS solutions.

What random facts can you share about yourself?

Here are three (3) fun(ish) facts:

1. In another lifetime, I was an All-American Track & Field athlete.

2. I have never eaten a Big Mac or a Whopper.

3. I am a dual-citizen of the United States and Germany.

How do you like to spend your free time?

I tend to spend my free time hanging around with my beautiful pup and/or beautiful wife, planning the next Dungeons & Dragons session, exploring Richmond (VA), and going on the occasional run.

Tell us about the most unique/interesting job you've had?

For a short time, I taught at the Vienna Institute of Natural Resources (BOKU Vienna) teaching graph theory to Master’s candidates. This also coincided with the 2014 World Cup, so it was an all-around great experience.

Describe your education and professional background

I graduated from the University of Richmond in 2014 with degrees in Environmental Science and Geography. I have worked in the Enterprise GIS space for nearly a decade, holding positions with academic institutions, governmental organizations, and private consulting firms. Most recently I served as the Lead Enterprise GIS Consultant for Geographic Technologies Group.

Favorite activity/sport?

Lounging around with my wife and our pup.

If you could travel anywhere in the world: Where would you go and why?

The Maldives because I am a sucker for a hammock over the ocean.

Favorite movie?

Fantastic Mr. Fox | A Film by West Anderson

Favorite quote?

“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” – Samuel Beckett

What excites you about joining the GeoMarvel team?

I am excited to work alongside some really talented and interesting people in the GIS community. GeoMarvel has a diverse team with a range of backgrounds, specialties and experiences that I believe I can benefit from and positively contribute to. Additionally, the company’s color scheme is right up my alley so I’m excited at the prospect of wearable merch.

We’re excited to welcome Andrew to the GeoMarvel team, and look forward to working with you to help push GIS forward!!
