Meet Stewart Ward, PLS!
Stewart is a grounded, disciplined, and highly structured individual. He is a self-proclaimed early riser who hits the gym at 5:00 AM five days a week, a routine he maintains even while traveling for conferences. While friendly and deeply connected to his younger peers, he is fiercely protective of his schedule (joking about his 8:30 PM bedtime) and values control. His structured mindset carries over into diverse personal interests; he runs a specialized farm raising beef, manages composting worms, and is an amateur beekeeper fascinated by the strict organization and societal structure of bees.

Meet Nolan Mark, PS!
Nolan is highly driven, competitive, and brings an athletic, sports-centric mindset to his business operations. A former Division III college baseball pitcher and shortstop, he channels that same intense focus, work ethic, and "geek" level of passion directly into surveying. He admits to having heavy OCD, which shows in his frustration with disorganized gym weights and his desire to build a private three-bay garage gym to maintain total control over his environment. While he describes himself as having an underlying introverted side, he is highly expressive, opinionated, and fiercely dedicated to his family, spending his free time coaching or keeping up with his two highly energetic young boys in youth sports.

Meet Stacey Pollock, PLS!
Stacey is vibrant, highly organized, and proudly embraces her identity as a woman in a historically male-dominated industry—evident in her choice of custom hot-pink survey caps. She is incredibly driven, often joking about her packed schedule. She has a deep love for legal and historical research, which she connects to an early childhood fascination with maps. Outside of work, she is highly active, participating in recreational leagues for soccer and archery. She also horseback rides and cares for her Mastiff mix "fur baby.”
