ASPRS ANNOUNCES FIRST TWO
RISING STARS
C
hris Stayte and Corey Ochsman are the first two
benefactors of ASPRS’ Rising Star Program. Both
Chris and Corey are being sponsored by Woolpert.
Chris Stayte
is a Dayton native who started at Woolpert
as an intern in early spring of 2013. He joined the remote
sensing team led by resident remote sensing scientist Dan-
iel Ngoroi. Chris continued to learn and grow as he spent
his first few years mastering remote sensing techniques
and acquiring a degree in software engineering. He now
applies all the knowledge he gained to his work as a team
lead for the remote sensing discipline here at Woolpert. He
and his team assure remote sensing products are created
to meet specification and accuracy standards. Chris also develops tools across an
array of applications to further automate the delineation of data as well as tools
that ensure quality standards are met. In his spare time, Chris runs his own
weekly podcast, creates development videos on Youtube and enjoys rock climbing,
photography and videography.
Corey Ochsman
has a unique perspective on where ar-
chaeology of the past meets geospatial technologies of the
future. He grew up in rural northern Virginia and stud-
ied geography and art history at George Mason University.
He later earned a Masters in Classical Archaeology from
Leiden University in the Netherlands. His focus on geospa-
tial technology in archaeology brought him to work several
seasons as the GIS manager at the excavations of the Villa
di Massenzio in Rome. Since then, he has continued to work
in a variety of positions at the cross section of the geospatial industry, including
as a GIS field technician for a utility company, a feature extraction and cartog-
raphy tech for the DoD and as a remote sensing tech for the oil and gas industry.
In 2011, Corey began working with LiDAR and started deploying to Afghanistan
with the USACE Buckeye Program. He transitioned to the Buckeye UAS plat-
form in Jordan and worked there for several years before bringing his breadth of
knowledge to Woolpert. He provided essential insight in the Buckeye 2 program
and is now the team lead for the terrestrial, mobile and aerial LiDAR discipline.
Corey currently lives in Colorado and he spends his free time traveling, climbing
mountains, and BASE jumping.
Woolpert is a national architecture, engineering and geospatial (AEG) firm that
delivers value to clients by strategically blending engineering excellence with
leading-edge technology and geospatial applications. Woolpert’s mission, to help
our employees, clients and world progress–to move forward through forward
thinking perfectly mirrors the goals of the ASPRS Rising Star Program – to
advance geospatial science through sponsorship and mentorship.
