Welcoming Jacob - We're Glad You’re Here!

As the Cloudpoint team takes on more ArcGIS Enterprise projects and supports an ever-growing client base, our team was in need of additional support in this space. As such, we are thrilled to welcome Jacob Preal, Enterprise GIS Specialist, to the Cloudpoint team. He lives and works remotely out of Southern California.

Meet Jacob:

  • He received a Bachelor's degree in Political Science with a minor in Geospatial Information Systems and Technologies Minor from UCLA.

  • His previous experience includes 4 years at the City of Menifee, CA as a GIS Technician, as well as 3 years as at the UCLA Daily Bruin, including one year as Editor-in-Chief.

  • His hobbies include photography, bird watching, video games, watching sports - particularly football and basketball, and spending time with family.

  • His favorite bird is the Belted Kingfisher (see below for a Belted Kingfisher he photographed)!
