Work Experience/Qualifications:
1979-1980:
While still attending high school, I was chosen to perform the duties of
mapping and excavating significant archaeology sites within the Lake Oconee
(formally Lake Wallace)
Reservoir. My duties including the attendance of field school, excavations,
plane table mapping of artifacts, features, surface collections and
topographic surveying.
As a result of my experience in archaeology, I have continued to volunteer
my services as a Registered Land Surveyor to the United States Forest
Service, the University of Georgia & Western Carolina University. I have
excavated and mapped portions of the Appletree Campground (2000) for the
USFS under the direction of Dr. Rodney Schnideker, and the abandon town of
Skull Shoals (1999-2003) also for the USFS under the direction of Dr. Jack
Wynn.
1985-2001
Beginning March 1985 I began my internship in the field of land surveying
under the direction of Mr. Bud Richards, North Georgia Land Surveyors, 101
Hospital Street,
Blairsville, GA. 30612. In March 1987, Rochester & Associates P.O. Box 87
Blairsville, Ga. 30614 purchased North Ga. Land Surveyors and I continued
working my way from chain-man, party chief, vice-president and finally
fulfilled the requirements of the State of Georgia to receive State
Registration No. 2653. Beginning September 2001, I began my own firm, Land
Tech Services Inc., located in Hiawassee, Georgia. My firm offered all
aspects of land surveying and development. In the capacity of a Registered
Land Surveyor, I have retraced, mapped and monumented approximately 250
miles of USFS boundary lines in both Georgia and North Carolina. Also
during this time, I began personally developing residential subdivisions.
As a developer, I have purchased and subdivided approximately 800 acres
located in both Towns and Union County. As a developer, I preformed my own
title opinions, negotiated purchasing price, development cost and all other
cost associated with infrastructure and development. The following are
corporations I formed for land development. RAM Properties, RAHB Inc. and
Green Mountain Inc.
Also during this time, I held the office of Union County Surveyor. This
office offered the public a way of resolving boundary line disputes through
the Magistrate Court system with an option of filing in Superior Court. The
role of the County Surveyor is to meet the disputing parties, perform the
necessary courthouse and field research to present along with the disputing
parties testimony to a three-person jury for a decision. Needless to say
this position could be very delicate.
My experience also allowed me to perform forensic surveys for various
attorneys and the office of the District Attorney. These surveys and maps
consisted of vehicle accident scenes and alleged homicide scenes. My duties
were to map specific areas, fields of vision, topography and other items as
requested and present to superior court. In my history as an expert
witness, I have testified in approximately fifty court cases within the
Ninth District Circuit Court. I was also appointed by Governor Zell Miller
to review and comment on the existing variance procedure developed by
Georgia Department of Natural Resources regarding encroachment within the
Buffers of State Waters.
Other Qualifications:
Required by the State Of Georgia to accumulate 15 hours biannually of
continuing education in the field of Land Surveying, mathematics, and/or
boundary law.
Proficient in the Geographic Information System (GIS) and select software
designed for the practice of Land Surveying and Engineering.
Proficient in all phases of title research within municipal governments and
records within the United States Forest Service.
Previous certification in single (piston) engine aircraft.
