Member De-Introduction

JoeBorgione — Fri, 17 Dec 2021 17:51:16 GMT

After 30 years of GIS analyses, I'm unplugging my computer and retiring. What a ride!

From Coverages in ArcInfo 4.x on a Unix box to shape files, to personal geodatabases, to file geodatabases, to SDE, to Enterprise and services, and platforms from ArcInfo, ArcView, ArcGIS (classic) and ArcGIS Pro , I've made a good living and have been challenged.

There are a number of people here on this forum that have contributed to my success as an analyst as well as made this forum a better place to hang out:

@DanPatterson , @curtvprice , @DarrenWiens2 , @JoshuaBixby , @ShanaBritt , @BradNiemand , @BruceHarold , @XanderBakker , @ChrisFox , @MichelleMathias , @TimWitt2 , @MichaelVolz .

Many, many thanks to these people and to anyone I may have left off this list.

To those younger community members, this is the place to get answers from those who have been there and done that. Keep your questions coming. Every suggestion, work-around, or explanation adds to a broader body of knowledge.

My retirement is bitter sweet; I have a job that I love and the team members I work with are all outstanding. However, there are miles upon miles of rivers in the Western U.S. to explore with tons of fish that need catching.

In closing, it has been a privilege for me to be part of the ESRI Community for all these years. I’m keeping this user account so there’s always a chance you’ll hear from me again.

All the best-

Hey @JoeBorgione , sad to see you go! I am sorry wasn't able to make it to your retirement party last month but I hope to see you around some. Will you get bored of your retired life and come to some of the 'community' events around town (like Maps on the Hill, SLUG, etc.)? If so, I hope to see you!

Hi @JoeBorgione ! I just saw this...hope retirement has been treating you well. If you get a chance, I'd highly suggest exploring the Lower Rogue Canyon in S. Oregon. Thanks again for your help with my sequential numbering question. I'm still using that script regularly.
