Jim is very professional and knowledgable in anything to do with plats or surveys. High in integrity and honesty!

Lee Rickey

I have worked with Jim for over 10 years and have received professional services for my company. I have always and will continue to recommend him as he goes above and beyond "the norm" while serving his clients. He has added valuable insight and cost savings on numerous projects that he has done for us. Above his detailed knowledge as a surveyor and project planner, his integrity and honesty will continue to be the most respected value to me. These values are highly sought after in business relations and Jim has displayed these to me without reservation.
