Why do you want this office?
I know I can make researching land surveys a lot easier. I can help county departments and government entities make Data Driven decisions by enhancing the organization of such surveys. I see simple things that can be done to help surveyors in this county find the information that could save time. Bottom line, it is to protect the health, safety, welfare and preserve the property rights of the public.
What is your political affiliation, and what your
core political beliefs?
I am an unaffiliated candidate and believe the County Surveyor should be unbiased. I will exercise independent professional judgment. I believe in research and facts to help with decision making. I believe in ethics, honesty, respect
What are the biggest issues facing the office you are seeking?

A big issue that has a simple solution, data management.

I will clean up the Plat Index
I will have a system for reporting errors in the plat index list.
Easy access to all County Land Survey Records.
Consistent availability and response to the public’s inquiries.
What long-term goals would you have for the office if elected?
I want to use G.I.S. to create an outer boundary of each subdivision so we can see the roads that are in that subdivision. Protecting the public rights-of way would be a high priority.
Mapping the location of a Land Survey Deposits using G.I.S.
What ideas do you have for developing Grand County’s economy?
Time is money! All development starts with a properly executed land survey. Land surveying is the foundation of development planning and growth. By having the land survey records well organized and easily accessible, it will save time and money to those sources that are looking to invest in Grand County.
I will make land surveys, road rights-of way, annexations and county owned property information easier to find and help the local professional land surveyors by answering questions in a timely manner.
What would you like voters to know about you?
I am motivated! I can share my knowledge of researching public data.
