I trace my curiosity about land surveying back to the time I learned that my uncle's partially constructed mid-town Toronto house was ordered by a court to be moved 13 inches west! The judge had determined it encroached into a mutual right-of-way, and I was intrigued: How could something so fundamental and important as a boundary, determined on the ground to routinely higher accuracies by professional surveyors, become the subject of such a dispute? And how did the court make its decision?
After completing a year of Engineering Science at the University of Toronto, I joined the Survey Science program at U of T's Mississauga campus to learn more. Graduating in 1988, I articled at JD Barnes' Weston and Markham offices, gaining my license in 1992. I found the combination of law, math, and working out-of-doors a great fit. From the GTA I traveled north to Ontario's remote First Nations and south to the Caribbean gaining wide experience with legal, control, topographic, and construction surveys.
Having performed topo and layout surveys related to Highways 7N and 407, I joined the MTO’s provincial Geomatics Office in 1999 where I have worked since. As Deputy Chief Surveyor, I oversee projects and standards for control, pre-engineering, aerial, and legal surveys with a generous helping of CAD and GIS work on the side. Realizing that underground utilities can be problematic, I joined the CSA-S250 subcommittee to help develop a Canadian standard for recording the many kilometers of underground pipes and cables that are so vital to us all. Currently chair of the AOLS Underground Utilities Committee, I also sit on the ad-hoc CUIR committee seeking a means of improving One Call operations with modern technologies and practices.

For decades, cities have required all utilities, communication providers and municipal services providers to build their facilities below ground. In addition, the increase in severe natural disaster conditions have driven traditional overhead utilities to revise their construction standards and build their new facilities underground. As the proliferation of underground construction continues, all utility groups must improve their procedures to ensure that any newly installed fa...
