Working in the woods and mountains and deserts of this area…you can’t beat that.

Derek grew up in Sunapee, New Hampshire and graduated from AB Tech in 2013 with an Associate in Applied Science. Following his degree, Derek surveyed for two years in New Hampshire and two years in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. In 2017, he relocated to Durango to join the Goff field crew.  

Derek is a Professional Licensed Surveyor in Colorado. His main specialties and interests are cadastral surveys, section breakdowns, topographic surveys, and boundary surveys. Derek’s most memorable project was connecting two forest service roads in White Mountains National Forest. Throughout the project, Derek and his team traversed on four-wheelers and snowmobiles, tying into GPS points with opus solutions along the way. 

Derek spends his free time outside hiking, skiing, and riding his motor bike.
