Background

About Greg Perkins

I am a 1986 graduate of Wytheville Community College with a degree in Civil Engineering Technology. After leaving college I was privileged to spend eighteen years learning the profession of land surveying, starting as rodman, earning my license as a Virginia Land Surveyor in 1993 and eventually working up to the position of project and office manager. During my tenure as a practicing Land Surveyor I was able to work on projects throughout Virginia and much of the eastern United States, specializing in design and construction surveying for transportation projects. Working on larger transportation projects gave me the opportunity to learn GPS surveying in its early days. I was able to utilize that knowledge to help implement GPS surveying programs for the different consulting firms where I was employed. In 2004 I was hired as the local representative for Leica Geosystems for Virginia and West Virginia providing sales, support and training services for total stations, GNSS systems and supporting software to the land surveying and consulting engineering community. In this position I can combine my love of land surveying with my love of new technology and training.
