How did carpe geo begin?
AppGeo’s carpe geo evangelist, Bill Johnson, created the philosophy of carpe geo through his decades of experience in the GIS field.
Positive feedback from three different endeavors (which can be found in the Resources section below) emboldened Bill Johnson to further develop a concept he coined carpe geo, a philosophy based on:
Building trust through collaboration
Effecting fundamental change through thoughtful investment
Consistent attention to excellence
