From 1985 through 1992, I served SDA as a survey technician. In 1992, I became a Survey Project Manager.

I oversee the remonumentation program for Macomb County. Created in 1992, the Macomb County Remonumentation Program established a plan to replace, restore, and maintain all public land survey monuments in Macomb County. These monuments are used by Land Surveyors to determine property line boundaries, road alignments, and subdivision layouts, including the location of commercial and industrial property. The Remonumentation Program is funded 100 percent by the State of Michigan, Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. The program began as a 20-year effort to survey the State of Michigan. However, the time allotment was extended until January of 2023. The Maintenance Program will take effect after January of 2023 and will preserve the efforts realized in the Remonumentation Program by ensuring the monuments remain in their proper location.

For many years, I have been photographing nature, construction projects, children, events, sports, and seniors. I enjoy capturing images that celebrate life.
