About the Speaker: Dane Courville, PLS

After initial careers in Archaeology and as a Montessori Teacher, Dane began surveying in the State of Maine in 2005. On day one, he knew he was a surveyor at heart. The job and all it entails was a perfect fit for him. Dane has worked and lived across the United States; born and raised in Louisiana with moves to Texas, Nevada, Idaho, Maine, and finally Colorado. In Maine in 2005, he found his first surveying employment with Ginn Land Surveying and Plisga and Day Land Surveyors in Bangor, Maine. With these firms he learned a tremendous amount of surveying knowledge and a skill set that put him on course to becoming licensed. Dane became licensed in the State of Maine in 2007 as a Land Surveyor in Training (LSIT) and finally a Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) in 2009. Leaving Maine led him back to Texas where he gained his Registered Professional Land Surveyor (RPLS) in 2010 with the nation’s largest all-surveying firm Surveying and Mapping, LLC (SAM). Dane transferred to Colorado in 2015, and subsequently obtained his professional land surveyor licenses in Vermont, Colorado, and Oregon. In all, he has gained five licenses in both metes and bounds and public lands states and nearly 18 years of survey experience working in many different survey disciplines (e.g., residential, commercial, ALTA, energy sector, transportation, construction, etc.). Dane currently is employed as a regional surveyor supervisor at the Department of Transportation with the State of Colorado. Dane has authored two manuals on surveying and routinely speaks at conferences and training seminars across the country.
