Ezra Owen is always finding a better way to do things. He lives by his “there’s gotta be a shortcut” mantra. He has a degree in GIS as well as a thesis-eternally-pending graduate degree in Remote Sensing. He spent a summer in 2002 collecting data on the southern slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and now puts his Remote Sensing knowledge to good at Leica Geosystems as a quality assurance engineer. He most recently works with the defense related geospatial software, but don’t ask him to reposition satellites to take pictures of your backyard, that’s not in his job description. Ezra is also a scoutmaster who actually looks forward to spending a week with 12 and 13 year old scouters during the summers. Like Clay and Brooks, Ezra is an outdoor enthusiast and looks forward to the day the REI dividend comes in. His top three feeds in his feed reader are Planet Geospatial, Lifehacker, and Backcountry. Ezra lives with his wife Crystal and unusually midsized dog Brie in Roswell, Ga.
