Survey Scientist/Professional Land Surveyor
I started in surveying when I was 18 and graduated with a BSc. in Survey Science from the University of Toronto at 22. In my career I’ve performed pretty much every role in a survey operation from Survey Assistant, drafter, calculator, crew chief, Land Surveyor… to shareholder, manager, president, sole owner.

I’m into my 40th year in the business and find that the process of getting surveys right and in an efficient manner, is still my greatest joy. Surveying is getting “easier” with all of these new tools, but getting it right (by understanding how the tools capture, store and manipulate the 4D data and building redundancy into the process to prove your information is correct), remains challenging.

Keep learning! And enjoy the experience!
