I have been in the surveying/civil engineering business since 1979, currently still working for an engineering company that I have been with 30+ years and looking to retire in the next 5 years. I would like to supplement my retirement with civil work, grading plans, topographic surveys and creating 3d models for machine control.

I help engineering firms, mining companies, construction teams, and infrastructure developers turn raw spatial data into precise, actionable maps, ready-to-build AutoCAD designs, and geospatial insights that reduce project risks, cut costs, and speed up decision-making. With over 3 years as a Geophysical Engineer on large-scale projects, I deliver high-accuracy geospatial solutions that support site planning, civil engineering, topographic mapping, and industrial development. My work has included geophysical surveys, detailed cartography, and CAD conversions that enable seamless integration into engineering workflows—helping clients avoid expensive rework and make confident, data-driven choices. What I can do for your project: ✅ Geospatial analysis & mapping using ArcGIS, QGIS, and specialized tools for accurate cartography, spatial visualization, and site assessments. ✅ AutoCAD drafting & conversion — 2D/3D technical drawings, site plans, civil engineering layouts, infrastructure designs, and precise CAD file preparation. ✅ Data visualization & reporting — clear, professional maps, dashboards, and reports that communicate complex spatial insights to technical and non-technical stakeholders. Whether you need high-precision topographic maps, AutoCAD-ready infrastructure designs, land use analyses, site planning layouts, or full geospatial workflows, I focus on delivering quality results fast and reliably. Ready to discuss how I can solve your specific geospatial or CAD challenge? Message me with project details—I respond quickly and love turning data into real value. Let's get your project mapped out accurately!
