Projects
Boundary Surveys
from Ranchos to Public Lands to Subdivisions and Legal Descriptions, I have surveyed, retraced and re-surveyed just about every type of land grant in California. Pictured is a hilly and tree covered area in Atascadero, CA.
Topographic Mapping
This is the beginning of a land development or re-development project. My Topo Maps will give your design team the quality information to create the project you want. This project was in Santa Ynez Valley, near Solvang, CA
Construction Staking
Helping you go from raw land (Boundary and Topographic Surveys for Engineering design) to the home of your dreams. Also, add-on, ADUs (additional dwelling units) and landscaping improvements can benefit from surveying services before construction starts. This home will have San Luis Mountain in San Luis Obispo, CA, as the background.

2 to 4, never more
One of the business concepts I was taught when I moved from the field to the office was to return calls... something simple, but one of the biggest complaints clients have w/ consultants, especially engineers. All calls will be returned promptly, within 2 to 4 hours.

Specific Projects
Guadalupe Dunes Oil Field Remediation
Salt water, sand and steel pipelines didn't work well together, and after multiple leaks, this oil field was shut down. I worked on a team that created the GIS database that aided in the removal of the pipelines, tanks and other oil field faucilities and started the remediation process in southwestern San Luis Obispo County
Solar Engery
I have worked on all the different Land Surveying phases of multiple solar projects throughout California, including the cities of: San Luis Obispo, Bakersfield, Richmond, Santa Cruz, Santa Maria, Santa Barbara and Paso Robles
San Luis Creek Tunnel
After San Luis Obispo city officials noticed failures to the streets above the creek, a project to reinforce the existing tunnel was started. I lead a team that created a topographic map of both the interior tunnel structure and the surface streets above it. The walls (both tops and bottoms), upper support beams, steps along the flowline and all storm drain inlets were located along this 1300' tunnel. Surveying the utilities affecting the project and creating a construction centerline for the tunnel were also some of our tasks. This project ran from behind a coffee shop near Higuera Street and Marsh Ave to the San Luis Creekwalk at Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa.
About
Professional Land Surveyor
California PLS 6423, Expericened since 1978, Licensed since 1990, I have continued to learn and expand my knowledge & skills in this ever changing world. Called "Part of the new generation of Surveyors" by an instructor at OIT, I've gone from hand drafting to CAD, and from using a steel tape and theodolite to GPS and Robotic Total Stations.... and I've embraced the technology, but understand the theory and history. We really do follow in the footsteps of previous Surveyors.
Prompt and Reliable
With my experience, I've come to understand the importance that communication, reliability and quality has in helping you complete your projects.
Outside of work.... Literally!
with age and experience comes reflection..... time spent doing things you like with family and friends becomes more valuable with each trip around the sun....
Cycling, hiking, outrigger canoeing, and just about anything outdoors keeps me happy and at peace.
