April 2019

The first week in April Jon went to Omaha to visit the Union Pacific Railroad with the DOD fellows. The next week he went to San Diego for the ASU/GSV conference and returned to San Francisco to host the DOD Fellows at Autodesk.

DOD Fellows at Union Pacific

At the beginning of April, Jon travelled to Omaha with the DOD Fellows to visit the Union Pacific Railroad. We flew in over Offutt Air Force Base, visited the dispatch center and corporate headquarters. The UP executives and members of their veteren's organization hosted a dinner on a private VIP train. We also toured the Union Pacific Museum and learned about the history of the railroad.

San Diego

Later in April, Jon went to San Diego for the ASU/GSV conference. He stayed in a Hyatt overlooking Coronado Island. On clear morning he could see Mexico. The conference as good, featuring Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix and Michael Crow, president of Arizona State. It was also fun to see navel ships coming and going from the US Navy base immediately south of the hotel
