So many of you have been asking to learn more about Nathan's company, ShotSpotter, so I've decided to briefly explain a bit more about it and include some links to various articles, press releases, and videos demonstrating the technology. Nathan is a Project Manager for ShotSpotter, a position he was recruited for only a few months after passing his PMP Certification exams with top scores. I'm very proud of him; Nathan consistently excels in all his professional endeavors (and domestic, for that matter). Because he has such high standards, he is consistently impressing his superiors and peers everywhere he works simply by doing what comes naturally to him but at a level that is so far above the lackadaisical norm that he is always referred to as a hot shot, a top dog, and someone who just blows everyone away with his attention to detail and solid work ethics. He is enjoying his time with ShotSpotter very much, although feels he has been travelling a good bit more than we originally expected. However, steps are being taken to scale back some of that in the coming months, though probably not until after the first of next year. Our hope is for Nathan to progress within the company within a relatively short time and eventually be invited to work in the company's corporate offices in Silicon Valley (which would result in our relocating to that general area).
ShotSpotter is a company which manages the installation of a suite of gunshot location systems covering a predetermined set of square miles within a specifc area of a city, and is primarily attracting the dollars of larger city governments with higher crime rates, including cities overseas in addition to within the United States (and has also caught the interest of the military). Nathan's responsibilities are to manage the installation for specific cities, interfacing with local law enforcement and government, attending press conferences, overseeing the assignment of specific sites for installation of the gunshot location equipment, and managing the installation project in general. The installations are very high profile, being somewhat controversial, and have very impressive results in lowering crime rates.
Here are some links to press, pics and videos for ShotSpotter, some of them focusing on the projects Nathan has been slaving away over for the last few weeks.

He does, but not one you want to get mixed up with. ;) Most unfortunate.
