• Hello! I’m Christian Przybylek – a geographer, FAA-licensed commercial drone pilot, former Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiker (Class of 2016), and the founder of XtianMaps, LLC.

    With over a decade of experience in the nonprofit and state government sectors, I’ve channeled my expertise into a side hustle that combines my passion for GIS and conservation. Through XtianMaps, I use geospatial and drone technology, paired with a sharp eye for design, to help conservation organizations, small businesses, and real estate professionals in South Central Pennsylvania uncover valuable insights and tell compelling stories about the communities they serve.

    In addition to my work, I write about geography and create tutorials on GIS and drone technology.

“Geography is not just about memorizing places on a map, it’s about understanding the relationships between people, places, and environments.”
