I'm looking for an opportunity to make a career change. I'd like to find a good home where I can spend the next few decades. Here is what I bring to the table:

• I'm licensed to practice land surveying in California and Nevada.
• I follow a strict work ethic.
• I have very high standards of morality and professional practice.
• I work extremely well with others.
• I have excellent oral and written communications skills, with experience as a published author and public speaker.
• I have experience as the project manager of the surveying components of large public works infrastructure projects.
• I'm very comfortable with technology, and have a knowledge of computer programming, web design, graphic design and GIS.
• I have a strong desire to teach and mentor other professionals
• I actively participate in professional organizations, including CLSA.
• I have a deep love for land surveying and continually look for opportunities to better the profession and my own land surveying practice.
• I understand how to meet the needs of the engineers on a project's design team.
• I appreciate the complexities and challenges of boundary surveying.
• I understand how to reduce and manage risk on surveying projects.
• I understand the connection between my paycheck and the financial performance of the organization that I serve.
• There are many things in life more important to me than money.

Here is what I'm looking for in a potential employer:

• An organization that will provide me with an opportunity to be treated with all fairness in the same manner as my engineering peers.
• An organization that supports continuing education.
• An organization that makes time for routine maintenance and training that is important to the proper functioning of a survey department.
• An organization that allows me to make decisions about the execution of work for which I'm in responsible charge.

An ideal employer would also have the following:
