I worked in the public sector for a large engineering organization,   "The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New Orleans District".  I learned and acquired the surveying profession from my father - who was a local Professional Land Surveyor in private and corporate practice for the surrounding area parishes and the St. of Louisiana - along with studies while attending college.  I developed my skills while on the job with my father's company and working for the Corps of Engineers.  I have now retired from the Corps after over 33 plus years of Federal Service and plan to continue practicing my profession in Land Surveying giving back to this great community what was given to me!
