Accomplishments
I was promoted to party chief within 5 months at the company I currently am employed by and have been running my own crew since.
I have trained 6 people, 2 of which became party chiefs, and 1 who was offered the position but turned it down.
I completed a 2000 acre marked corners location in the mountains of Hume, Virginia as Party Chief with 2 other crew members. We used a TopCon RTK Hipper 2 GPS and TopCon Robotic Total Station for data collection. This project had a 15 day deadline and was completed in 11 days.
I have been responsible for many jobs over 40 acres and am assigned most of the big acre properties at my current company.
I am referred to as the "boundary guy" amongst my peers at Merestone Land Surveying, PPLC.
I have worked for a licensed surveyor independently on weekends for the last 3 years.
