Glenn letham’s Summary

Co-Founder of Spatial Media LLC -- With a background in Geography I'm somewhat of a "Jack of all trades" albeit with a geospatial, mobile, and GeoWeb (Web2.0) focus. Most people think of me as a technology editor and industry analyst, however, I'm also a skilled writer, moderator, GIS professional, mobile and geo-technology evangelist. My areas of expertise is mainly in GIS, mobile positioning, location-based services, and development for the Symbian Mobile operating system. Founding several web properties has also provided me with experience in developing for WEB 2.0, marketing, public relations, writing, and "shmoozing" - people recognize me as "the guy who travels all the time", this comes about from my passion for blogging and moblogging while I'm attending events. I've attended more than 75 industry trade shows, conferences, and tech. events over the past 8 years taking me to cool places like Orlando, N'Orleans, Vancouver, Helsinki, Paris, London, Munich, Amsterdam, and Monaco.

Some of the coolest places I've been are:
- circumnavigating the Queen Charlotte Islands on a research vessel
- heli skiing the Purcel Mountains in the Canadian Rockies (B.C)
- the great barrier reef & Great Keppel Island (Australia)
- Long Beach, North Island, New Zealand
- Fiji during typhoon season!

Places on my list of things to do:
- Visit New York and ride the Staten Island Ferry
- Boston and go to Fenway to see a Sox/Yankees series
- Moscow... I've always wanted to go there!
- Dubai... why wouldn't anyone want to go there?
- Fiji again but with my wife this time

I also would like to get a Masters degree one day and write a book.

My greatest achievements have been the development and implementation of several lucrative e-commerce web-based revenue streams.
