I am a geospatial project manager in Ayres’ Madison, Wisconsin, office with over 12 years of experience in digital mapping, GIS, and project management. My work focuses on designing and leading lidar and orthoimagery projects from planning to flight, and through data processing, QC, and completion. I have coordinated many aspects of the orthoimagery and lidar programs being conducted in Wisconsin - including WROC and 3DEP. I enjoy consortium building and serving a diverse range of clients in the private and public sectors, including many counties, municipalities, and utilities in the Midwest.

I joined Ayres Associates as a Project Manager in the Geospatial-Aerial Mapping Group in April 2019. I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a MS degree in Geospatial Information Science and from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point with a BS degree in Fisheries and Water Resources Management. I've worked in the federal and state agency sectors, with more than 10 years of experience with resource inventory and monitoring programs. Most recently I had been working with the Bureau of Reclamation in Reno NV, where I focused on remote sensing tasks including object-based image analysis, wetland flora and fauna, hydrography, aerial photography, and lidar.

My professional experience includes more than three decades of survey and GIS experience at the private, municipal and state level, including managing consultant surveying contracts for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s Southeast Region and serving as West Bend’s City Surveyor for 21 years. I’ve always been on a quest to continue learning new skills and delivering innovation through my work. My goal at Ayres is to help further integrate our Aerial Mapping, Surveying and GIS services by exploring new opportunities to fuse multiple technologies and work flows while adding value and efficiency to our client’s projects.

Mike Seidel, GISP

I am a GIS specialist in the Aerial Mapping group at Ayres’ Madison, Wisconsin, office. My efforts are mostly focused around the processing of airborne LiDAR, but I also handle many of the GIS duties for the Geospatial division. I perform spatial analysis and create custom maps and graphics for a variety of clients, and do research and development tasks related to LiDAR derivatives such as 3D building extraction and Low Confidence Area delineation. I have extensive experience with spatial modelling, scripting, and custom application development as well as data conversion and integration. I hold a Master’s degree in Environmental Monitoring as well as a Bachelor’s degree in Cartography & GIS, both from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
