Douglas began surveying in the fall of 1987 when he joined the U.S. Army and took the construction surveying course. He really enjoyed the aspect of seeing something go from a raw piece of property to a building, parking lot, etc. After leaving the U.S. Army in 1992, he decided that he needed to further his education, so he enrolled in the land surveying and engineering classes at SLCC. He earned his first associate degree in 1993 and continued on to earn his second associate degree in land surveying in 1996. During that time, he worked for a small land surveying company and found that he really enjoyed this type of work. In 1995, he started working for Ensign Engineering and Land Surveying Inc. and has worked there ever since. He has been the Legislative Committee chair, state chair and is currently serving as the Salt Lake Chapter president. He has enjoyed his interaction with the different committees in UCLS and would like to further his contribution to UCLS in the current position by continuing to work beside the many great professionals who are in the organization.
