My career path has allowed me to acquire a wide variety of skills and experiences, and it's this broad-spectrum understanding that has given me tremendous perspective. I have a strong passion for learning, which pushes me to continually raise my standards. Smart land development & management have always got me excited, and as of 2017, I've returned to my roots in Surveying. Spatial technology has come a LONG way since I finished studies @ Oregon Tech, however, and finding new, creative ways to harness these tools satisfies this passion of mine. Have a *challenging* land issue to solve? Let's talk it over.

Principal1Ls Surveying Feb 2022 - PresentPortland, Oregon Metropolitan Area1LS Surveying is laser-focused on assisting Land Owners with making informed decisions about their boundaries and development projects, concentrating on dispute resolution and mediation of difficult or complex situations. Expert Witness services and creative application of *Oregon Boundary Law* are at the heart of our process. 1LS has a unique approach of documenting solutions instead of problems, which, surprisingly, differs from many other Professional Land Surveying firms. If you have a problem with your boundary/neighbor you can potentially save tens-of-thousands by working with the 1LS mediation team instead of rushing to file a lawsuit. In extreme cases litigation *is* necessary to resolve conflicts. -- just not most of the time.1LS Surveying is an Oregon-based veteran-owned business. -

Product Support EngineerAltus Positioning Systems Oct 2009 - Jun 2011Torrance, CaliforniaI was afforded the chance to join a small group of highly motivated surveyors and engineers in the early stages of their first product launch. The challenge was to jump immediately into the fire of supporting and testing/evaluating an extremely technical product, while working within the constraints of a small company. I was able to accomplish the rapid spool-up by combining my Geomatics Engineering background with an intensive, hands-on approach. The result? A fantastic level of customer service and support that propelled the company's sales at a critical time.
