Coming over Black Bear Pass

Note the license plate on my beloved 1976 Blazer. Yup, I'm an uber-geek.

Yeah it is hot here in the summer - but there are perks. This is just one.

LIDAR scanning in Salt Lake City

Another day of LIDAR scanning. This time of a highway intersection for UDOT with my friends at Intelisum.

LIDAR scanning in Alaska

We were SE of Denali National Park conducting a LIDAR scan of the Hurricane Bridge. The BEST day of field work I have ever had.

Locating Utilities in Flagstaff

That's me and my trusty Trimble GeoXT locating new utilities. Sorry about the white legs!

The Coast of Maine

I never get tired of this view from my parents' place in South Freeport, Maine. As you can see it's pretty spectacular - especially in the fall.

Out on a frozen lake in Alaska

This was taken by my wife who knew better not to go out on the ice!

Wide Open Spaces

The four corners area of the southwest USA is spectacular.

Come Visit!
