PRINCIPALS
J. FOREMAN, FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT
Jason (Jay) Foreman received his undergraduate degree from the University of Massachusetts and his Masters in Geography/Geographic Information Systems from the University of Oklahoma. Upon receiving his graduate degree, Jay began his professional career working for a small urban planning company in San Francisco and then soon moved on to a large engineering firm.
Jay’s first position as an independent contractor began in 2001 when he was hired by a San Francisco-based e-commerce site to create and manage all GIS data and maps published on their web site. In 2002, Jay became the GIS Coordinator for a seismic/geohazards firm of earth science consultants, where he built their GIS services from the ground up. Some of his GIS projects included geologic mapping, geohazard site assessment, seismic monitoring and spatial analysis. As GIS Coordinator, Jay mapped seismic hazards for state and federal agencies and private industries worldwide.
Capitalizing on an immediate opportunity to produce maps on a much larger scale for the real estate industry, Jay founded Red Paw Technologies in 2003. By pooling the talents of former colleagues from the University of Oklahoma as well as other individuals from California, New Mexico and Texas, Red Paw Technologies is now in its sixth year and continues to produce the highest quality map products available.
Jay Foreman lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico with his wife and two cats.
