“I've never met anyone as passionate about GIS as Roger André. It's downright contagious in the best way. Watching him put Geospatial Data together in a clear, readable map is like watching a Master Craftsman. He always seems to find a way to motivate you to do better, and is an excellent team-builder. If I take nothing else away from my experience working with Roger, keeping his "Don't be a mushroom" advice will last through the rest of my career, and will only make it better. He's the sort of guy you look up to, not because of fancy titles, but because he puts forth the sort of example that you want to follow. He's a natural leader, a friendly face, and a fantastic resource for bouncing ideas off of even on subjects in which he's not well versed, yet still able to keep you down-to-earth. With his driving dialogue like "interesting idea, but is it really practical?" and "are you sure you can't find a more pragmatic way to achieve that goal?" he helps guys like me who sometimes run off on tangents stay on track. The fact that he's willing to to make 5 or 10 minutes out of his schedule to save you hours of being out in the weeds is an asset that very few other people that I've worked with possess. If given the chance to work with Roger again, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment. He's one of the most incredible mild-mannered people you could ask for in any Information Services department.”
