About

I am currently in the Business Development department for a large and reputable land surveying company in Texas (CBG Surveying). I’ve been in the surveying business for 7 years. With a background in professional baseball as a player and scout, I transfer that competitive nature in the field I play on now. I still coach and teach baseball, fly around North Texas in a Piper Cherokee 180 while I continue pilot training, but while those are my hobbies, I really enjoy what I do and who I work with in the surveying world- one of America’s oldest professions
