Episode 131 - Travis ”Maverick” Bohan, PLS

"WE feel the need...the need for speed"!! The guys were joined this week by Travis Bohan, PLS. Travis is not only a handsome man resembling DD's man crush Tom Cruise, but also a very talented and insightful professional land surveyor who also does all his own stunts. Travis is a Survey Manager at Mark Thomas & Company. Little known fact, Mark Thomas was the first consultant allowed to design improvements to Caltrans facilities, with the I-880 Widening project in Santa Clara County in 1987!! We covered a ton during this episode including the challenges of performing survey on mega transportations projects, applying the right technology for each phase of a project to increase efficiency and profit without sacrificing accuracy, importance of the right education for land surveyors, creative yet effective ways to promote the profession (and yourself!), what folks can do to make themselves more marketable and a bunch more that I can't remember at the moment thanks to the leftover Garrison Brothers whiskey! Mark "Big Ticket" Taylor co-hosted and COG makes a big announcement! Henry David Thoreau was quoted. Music provided by Dave Matthews Band (poop droppers)!
