I’m a Professional Surveyor and the founder of The Survey School. I spent the last decade obsessed with surveying and geospatial technology and how the digital transformation of our world is taking place. I showcase the latest workflows and technologies available in the mapping world, while holding these sensors to high standard when it comes to accuracy, How I got here... 2008: My father was laid off as a Survey Crew Chief. He started his own business and took me out in the field to learn surveying with him. 2017: Bought my first drone (DJI Phantom 3 ) off eBay for $499. Taught myself Pix4Dmapper, and landed an aerial mapping internship that same summer. 2018: Graduated with my B.S. in Surveying Engineering. Started in the field doing traditional boundary and topographic surveys. 2019: Finished my M.S. in Civil Engineering (Project Management focus). At this point I had a deep desire to learn more about geospatial technology, I wasn't ready to say I finished my education. 2020: Entered the Ph.D. program in Geodetic Engineering at Ohio State. Same year, I started this YouTube channel to document the journey. 2021: Hit 20,000 subscribers. Secured my first major industry partnership with Emlid, proving there was a massive shortage for modern surveying content. 2022: Recruited by General Motors as an Advanced Technology Specialist. I specialized in Ground Truthing and Sensor Alignment for autonomous systems. 2023: YouTube channel grew to 50,000+ subscribers. Scaled my network to partner with over 30 of the top geospatial companies globally. 2024: The Pivot. Laid off from GM during corporate restructuring. Instead of looing for a new job immediately, I built The Survey School to give the industry an educational platform and community it was missing. 2025: Scaled the school to 100+ active members and published my 10th peer-reviewed paper for my Ph.D. Proved that I could bridge the gap between "Academic Research" and "Practical Field Experience." 2026: Accepted a role as the Lead Geomatics Manager at WSP, overseeing multi-million dollar reality capture and infrastructure projects across the Midwest. Today: I’m currently preparing to defend my dissertation at The Ohio State University to finalize my Ph.D. My goal is simple: To make the world's best geospatial education accessible to everyone. From the solo surveyor to the global enterprise, so we can map tomorrow's world together. #LandSurveying #iPhone17Pro #LiDAR #Pix4D #BadElf #Geospatial #Surveying #CivilEngineering #TotalStation #MobileMapping
