Eric on a Cold, Windy Day!

Professional land surveyors have a rich tradition and pride in their profession. Mr. Colburn shares in this love of our traditions and pride, being an unapologetic revivalist and adviser to those land surveyors looking to build on their shared traditions and community for a new, and better, land surveying profession!

“Only together can we revive the land surveying profession to its full and deserved glory. In dividing ourselves – or allowing ourselves to be divided – we empower others over our best interest. Please join with me in building a strong dedicated community committed to making our profession everything we know that it should be!”
