About Jasen Hunt

I started Land Survey Drafts because nobody taught me this work in a classroom, and nobody was teaching it to the people I hired either.

How I learned it

I picked up AutoCAD at about ten and went to college for mechanical engineering. In my senior year I was hurt in a boating accident and left with a traumatic brain injury. I could only work a few hours a day, so freelance drafting was how I paid for food.

A surveyor in Colorado needed a drafter. He had never really used CAD, but he knew what a finished survey had to look like, and he taught me over the phone until I could produce it. My first survey took a month.

How it became a school

More surveyors hired me, so I brought in engineering students and taught each of them how survey drafting works. At one point I had seven of them drafting with me. Teaching them was the part I enjoyed most.

It also showed me the gap this company fills. Plenty of people know CAD. Survey firms need drafters. Very few places teach what goes in between.

What I do now

I teach Survey to Success, our 10-week program in AutoCAD Civil 3D. Students draft real boundary surveys, topographic surveys, as-builts and site plans. I run the live sessions and do interview prep with each student myself.
