WORK EXPERIENCE

Project Surveyor

Universal Pegasus Internationalti - Houston, TX - January 2008 to February 2016

This company is engaged in the design and construction of long distance oil and gas pipelines. In this

assignment, I was tasked with the preparation of right-of-way plats for use by various right-of-way acquisition

firms. Each pipeline project required the resolution of the boundaries.of the large number of tracts across

which the pipeline was intended to cross, becoming in fact boundary surveying on steroids. For these, I was

given title information for the various tracts in the form of a limited title commitment (L.T.C.) by the acquisition

firms. I analyzed and plotted the descriptions for those tracts, then directed field crews to locate the boundary

monuments described therein. The field data was for the most part generated by Global Positioning System

(G.P.S.) measurement. When the field data was returned to me, I compared the data found in the field with that

called for in the deeds and made the necessary boundary decision. I then directed mappers in the preparation

of the plats and wrote legal descriptions for the required pipeline right-of-way easement.

All work was carefully crafted to conform to all aspects of the minimum technical standards issued by the

licensing body for the state in which the work was performed.

In April, 2012, I sat and passed the 2-hour state specific examination administered by the State of West Virginia

Board of Professional Surveyors and was awarded a license to practice surveying in that state.

In October, 2012, I sat and passed the 2-hour state specific examination administered by the State of

Tennessee Board of Examiners for Land Surveyors and was awarded a license to practice surveying in that

state.

In October, 2013, I sat and passed the 2-hour state specific examination administered by the Commonwealth

of Virginia Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors Certified Interior Designers and

Landscape Architects and was awarded a license to practice surveying in that commonwealth.

In October, 2014, I sat and passed the 2-hour state specific surveying examination and a 4-hour hydraulics

and hydrology examination administered by the State of Georgia Board of Engineers and Land Surveyors and

was awarded a license to practice surveying in that state.

Also in October, 2014, I sat and passed the 2-hour state specific examination, the 4-hour road grading and

drainage examination administered by the State of Maryland Board for Professional Land Surveyors as well

as the 6-hour N.C.E.E.S. P.S. examination (which was not and is still not required for licensiure in the State

of Texas) and was awarded a license to practice surveying in that state.

In May, 2015, I sat and passed the 2-hour state specific examination administered by the Commonwealth of

Kentucky and was awarded a license to practice surveying in that commonwealth.

Registered Professional Land Surveyor

Bowden Surveys - Houston, TX - September 2006 to January 2008

I was employed here as a Registered Professional Land Surveyor in a company which specialized in residential

and commercial land development. In that capacity, I obtained, analyzed and plotted deeds and other

documents needed for the required surveys. I directed field crews in gathering the data needed. I analyzed

that data as to sufficiency and made the necessary boundary and topographic determinations. I prepared the

maps for those surveys and made all needed computations for construction staking using Autocad/Carlson

software. Where A.L.T.A. surveys were requested, I interacted with the title companies and attorneys involved

to ensure completion of the survey. Where final plats were required, I interacted with the reviewing entities for

the municipalities involved to ensure that those documents were approved.

Surveyor

Swedesurvey - Belize - March 2004 to March 2006

Swedesurvey

Orange Walk Town,

Belize, Central America

In March 2004, I departed Texas for the country of Belize where I had been engaged by

Swedesurvey, a division of the National Survey of Sweden which had contracted with the Government of Belize

(GOB) to aid in the Land Management Program of that country. This program was an effort by the GOB to clarify

the land tenure status of over 13000 rural parcels within the northern two districts of Belize. While engaged

in this capacity, I was charged with verifying tenure, demarcating and surveying over 500 new parcels in the

adjudication sections of San Jose/San Pablo, Carmelita and Shipyard. The surveying was performed using

sub-metre Global Positioning System (G.P.S.) (L1 phase only) according to strict specifications. Following

the field work, I prepared cadastral plans for the surveyed parcels using Autodesk Land Desktop 3 and then

assisted in compiling the database and maps for use in the GIS program being used by Swedesurvey.

performed boundary and topographic surveys for other clients using both traditional and GPS equipment. In

doing this work, I gained substantial computer skills in the use of Microstation, AutoCAD R14 with Softdesk

renewed in March 1998 for two years. In this capacity, I was responsible for developing the plans, specifications

and estimates for various highway reconstruction projects on the islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas/St. John.

Using AutoCAD R13 and later R14 coupled with the program then known as Softdesk, Lotus 123 and Microsoft

Word, I designed the horizontal and vertical alignments and drainage analysis and design for several major

street and highway improvement projects. Most noteworthy of these was the rehabilitation of Strand Street/

Buddhoe Park in Frederiksted, St. Croix in preparation for the sesquicentennial of the abolition of slavery in

the Danish West Indies (now the U.S. Virgin islands).

survey and right-of-way acquisition for a 2.5-mile long highway bypass around the town of Christiansted on

that Island. For this, I planned and executed a control traverse tied to the local Lambert grid system. Boundary

monumentation was then related to this.
