About John Cuchta

In my free time, I like to get outdoors on hikes, drives, or simply lounging in my back yard. I also am really into cooking, tabletop/video games, and DIY projects. I got married in September of 2022 to my best friend. She brought her 15 year old Australian Shepherd and we have a 2 year old Welsh Corgi. I worked with the United States Forest Service in the Data Development and Cartography (DDC) unit at the Geospatial Technology and Applications Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. I worked on building metadata for our products, created a modern Woodland layer with NLCD data, and created documentation for products as part of the modernization effort in GTAC. Before the Forest Service, I worked at BAE Systems where I maintained a Secret Security clearance and worked on several different kinds of projects. I have experience in MGCP ArcGIS extraction and primarily stereo work in SOCET SET where I built and extract DEMs. Then, before BAE, I worked at Horizon Well Logging, LLC where I was a well logging geologist. I worked in the Mississippi Lime, Marcellus Shale, and Utica Shale plays. In this role, I lived and worked on site during active drilling and collected samples at set intervals and made a living document that had the lithologic and gas readings I collected as well as gamma logging data collected by other companies on site.
