Tom has a history of doing both private and government work, but the private industry is where he gained the most experience in terms of job diversity. He has worked for private engineering firms in both Wisconsin and Minnesota prior to moving back to Michigan. With those companies he is specialized in mapping surveys, LOMA surveys (Letter of Map Amendment), right of way plats, writing legal descriptions for easements and land acquisition/division, monitoring surveys (dams and retaining walls), building and highway construction staking, road reconstruction/utility staking, culvert mapping and design, and ALTA (American Land Title Association) as built surveys.
