I teach land survey drafting in AutoCAD Civil 3D. I run Land Survey Drafts from Orlando, Florida, and I learned the trade from a surveyor in Colorado who taught me over the phone.

What I do

Teach survey drafting

I teach people to draft boundary surveys, topographic surveys, as-builts and site plans in Civil 3D. More than 300 have come through my training so far, from field crew to engineering graduates.

More about the work

Make videos

My YouTube channel covers how survey drafting works, CAD careers and freelancing. I also sit down with students and let them tell their own stories.

Work with survey firms

I train crews for survey firms, and I add a firm's own material to what I teach them.

How I got here

I started drafting in AutoCAD when I was about ten and went to college to become an engineer. In my senior year a boating accident left me with a traumatic brain injury. I could work a few hours a day, no regular job would take me, and for a while I ate from my school's food bank.

Freelance drafting was the one thing I could still do. A surveyor in Colorado, a field guy I never met in person, taught me land surveying over the phone. My first survey took a month. After that I drafted for licensed surveyors, hired and trained engineering students to help, and found out how few places teach this work.

That is why Land Survey Drafts exists.
