A Vision Born from Experience
Before founding Get On Google Maps, Austin spent several years as a biologist in Yosemite National Park. Living in park housing, he experienced the frustration of navigating without accurate addresses on Google Maps. Friends struggled to visit, packages were often misdelivered, and navigation was a constant challenge.
This firsthand experience highlighted the need for better data in mapping platforms. By combining his extensive knowledge in GIS with a background in digital marketing, Austin realized he could help new housing developments avoid these frustrations through partnerships with platforms like Google Business and Google Maps.
