No longer a recently terminated state worker in a sudden bind, I am now a freelance cartographer and solo business owner, gradually building momentum and working to grow Ridgeline Geographic (https://www.ridgelinegeographic.com/).

On November 2, 2026, I decided to overhaul this GoFundMe page to more accurately describe my current state of affairs. I harbor ambitious plans to design and produce a diverse inventory of printed wall maps of locations all over the world (with a heavy emphasis on Florida, of course).

Additionally, over the past six weeks or so (since mid-September), I have produced several custom map prints for clients at hourly rates, rather than solely relying on sales of prints. Shifting to this workflow has been a major boost to my new business. Anyone interested in custom map design and printing can contact me here: https://www.ridgelinegeographic.com/commissions. Any size, subject, or map style is a possibility.

Thanks in advance to all who continue to follow my progress, as I continue to announce new products, business updates, and milestones on this page.
