This week's episode of “Surveyor Says!” The NSPS Podcast finds us in the nation's capital within the shadow of the Washington Monument and the NSPS Student Competition. Your host, Tim Burch, caught up with Megan Theune-Baillargeon, a Young Surveyor from Wisconsin and volunteer for the Competition. Megan shared her story of growing up on the outskirts of Milwaukee and getting her start in surveying. She talked about the benefits of working for a small firm early in her career to gain valuable knowledge in varying parts of surveying. Megan has taken that early experience and transforming her career path through surveying classes into a future goal of professional licensure.
Our profession will be much better off if we can encourage more bright young minds like Megan! Thanks for your contribution to the NSPS Student Competition and for your efforts to promote the profession through the Wisconsin YSN.

In late July 2022, a rain event in eastern Kentucky brought flash flooding and substantial amounts of water, causing widespread damage on roads and bridges throughout the region. The survey team at QK4 provided emergency data collection to establish the condition of the bridges for design and construction of replacements in record time.
This episode of "Surveyor Says!" The NSPS Podcast finds your host, Tim Burch, discussing the timing and logistics with QK4 surveyors Ben Shinabery, Luke Woodyard, and Ethan Carr. They talked about navigating the devastated areas, helping residents with cleanup efforts, and the overall efforts in getting the critical information back to designers in record time. Luke and Ethan shared stories of upbeat residents who, despite the terrible circumstances, were upbeat and positive about surviving this tragic event. Ben talked about the necessary completeness of the data collection so designers would be able to confidently produce plans for immediate construction. A big thank you goes out to all surveyors who prove their services not just for the data collection but to also help their fellow men, women and children.

This episode of “Surveyor Says! The NSPS Podcast” highlights the Certified Survey Technician (CST) program during a conversation with Norm Ellerbrock, a CST Board member. He recently sat down with Tim Burch to talk about his introduction into surveying, starting his own business, and how mentoring is important to teaching the future practitioners. Norm provides an overview of the program, the pathway to certification on two tracks to four levels, and preparation for taking a CST exam. He also shares the importance having CST employees for an advantage as a business owner in both experience and prequalification for certain projects. Norm also shared how to become a proctor for potential exam takers as well as finding a proctor if an applicant cannot find one.
If you are interested in giving back to the profession and future surveyors, then CST could be your answer!

It is often said that surveyors don’t know how to retire and that they go on to do bigger and better things. This week’s episode of “Surveyor Says!” The NSPS Podcast proves exactly that as we catch up with Steve Martin, a recently retired surveyor formerly with the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD). He is a long serving CLSA member (2011 Member of the Year recipient) and dedicated steward to the “GPS on Benchmarks” initiative through NGS (for more information, listen to Episode 111 w/ Galen Scott). Steve recent chatted with Tim Burch about his efforts to recover and submit data for the initiative, thoughts on mentoring, and the future of the profession. Check out Steve’s efforts through his posts on LinkedIn and let him know that his work is appreciated!

The age old question for our storied profession has consistently been for (literally) centuries, “What does a surveyor do?” Whether it be for an audience of fellow professionals (engineers, architects, etc.) or John Q. Public, the surveying profession has struggled with telling our story of who we are and what we do. This week’s episode of “Surveyor Says!” The NSPS Podcast asked that question during the Florida Surveying & Mapping Society (FSMS) Conference and ended up with a great conversation with Melissa Seitzinger, Project Development Manager for LJA Surveying in Tallahassee, FL. Melissa and Tim Burch sat down to discuss the challenges of “selling surveying” to not just those who may need our services, but to parents and their children who could potentially be our next generation of geospatialists. They also identified the ways surveyors can improve their communication, refine their presentation skills, and have a short “elevator speech” primed and ready for connecting with non-surveyors.
A big thanks to the FSMS staff for a great conference and giving us space to record this excellent conversation. Thanks for listening to “Surveyor Says!” The NSPS Podcast and subscribe wherever you listen to your audio selections.

Episode 265 brings together two AllTerra Central leaders — Scott Spears and Chris Mauldin — for a fast-moving conversation on UAVs, SLAM, reality capture, and the human side of geospatial technology. After the usual Geoholics banter and updates ,we dive straight into what surveyors are getting wrong (and right) about drone adoption.
Scott and Chris tackle the biggest misconceptions around UAVs, break down the differences between American and Chinese platforms, and explain how handheld scanners and SLAM systems are resetting expectations for accuracy and deliverables. They also explore how AI is accelerating faster than hardware — and why keeping people, ethics, and trust at the center of tech adoption matters more than ever.
Chris brings heart and honesty with insights on faith, family, and teamwork, while both guests highlight why surveyors are more essential than ever in a “shrinking world.” The episode closes with a look at what makes AllTerra Central unique and where they see UAVs and reality capture heading over the next five years.

Keeping an eye on the structural components of a 189-foot historic chimney has traditionally meant building scaffolding and sending people to precarious heights – a time-consuming, costly, and dangerous endeavor.
