   personal_statement: "He has worked in water resource investigations of groundwater\
     \ and surface water that have included multiple states and six countries. Project\
     \ responsibilities have included web-application design, Python programing,\
     \ water resource computer modeling, and a full range of Geographic Information\
     \ Systems endeavors. Drew graduated from University of Arkansas at Little Rock\
     \ with a Bachelors of Science in Physics and a Masters in Earth Sciences and\
     \ GIS. Outside of work, Drew actively contributes to the field of speleology\
