Experience

A lifelong Missourian, Jim was raised in rural Southwest Missouri and began his career in this industry within a week of his high school graduation at Heideman and Associates, a firm in Springfield, as a rodman on a surveying crew.  He continued working in the surveying and heavy construction industries and studying engineering for the next seven years until his graduation from the University of Missouri – Rolla.  This included part time work at Elgin Surveying.  After graduation, Jim worked one more summer in the heavy construction arena then decided he should once again rejoin a consulting firm, this time in Branson, primarily designing private works, specializing in residential and commercial site development, including the design of many start up sewerage and drinking water works, due to the decentralized nature of development that is common and necessary in that area.  In this role, he gained valuable experience working directly with the client on complicated projects with less than forgiving site conditions and deadlines.

Having always enjoyed the Rolla area and when an opening came available at Elgin Surveying, Jim jumped at the opportunity to come back to his adopted home.  Since rejoining our staff, Jim has become very familiar with the design and construction administration of Federally-funded projects for a number of our municipal clients, as well as working on the private projects for our developer clients.
