As such, Neill has worked with David over the last several years to prepare him for this role. Neill remains a large part of GEO Jobe, focusing on the UAV division and offering support to David and GEO Jobe’s employees.

His knowledge of the industry paired with an understanding of future technology trends has allowed him to innovate GIS solutions and services that have ultimately transformed this company.
