Jerry Paffendorf is co-founder and CEO of LOVELAND Technologies, a property mapping and data company based in Detroit, Michigan with a mission to map every parcel of property on the planet. Visitors to makeloveland.com can freely explore more than 130 million US parcels covering where 95% of Americans live, and customers can work with and add to this data in their own private workspace. LOVELAND started out mapping blight, foreclosure, and ownership in Detroit, and its parcel mapping software is now used by people and organizations around the country for property surveys, research, planning, management, and data visualization.

At GISCAMA2017 Jerry is interested in meeting people with property data they want to share with the public (we will happily publish your fully credited data on makeloveland.com!), people who need parcel mapping tools and services (check out our sitecontrol.us software!), and people who are fans of parcel historian Andro Linklater (author of Owning The Earth and Measuring America -- if you don't know them, please google them!).

I am looking for customers and collaborators and connections, and I have plenty of interesting stories to share. Please don't be shy.
