Aaron Tyson, PLS
Director of Surveying

Aaron began working in construction shortly after getting out of the Marine Corps in 1996. During this time he worked mainly in road and utility infrastructure as a laborer and working his way up to a Site Foreman. In 2005, Aaron decided to put his construction experience to use as a Land Surveyor. Since making the transition to surveying, he has worked both in the field as well as the office, and obtained his PLS in 2015. His experience includes conducting research, performing boundary and topographic surveys, ALTA surveys, construction staking, and as-built surveys. Aaron’s positive attitude and solid work ethic have made him a valuable asset to our team.
