About the Author

My land surveying career began several decades ago while attending Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute in New Mexico and has traversed many states such as Alaska, Arizona, Utah and Wyoming. I am a Professional Land Surveyor in Arizona, Utah and Wyoming. I am an appointed United States Mineral Surveyor and a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Certified Federal Surveyor. I have many years of computer programming experience related to surveying. This book is dedicated to the many individuals that have helped shape my career. Especially my wife Cindy. She has been my biggest supporter. She has been my instrument person, accountant, advisor and my best friend. Without her, I would not be the professional I am today. Cindy, thank you very much.
