Welcoming our new Brand Sponsor Juliano Associates to the Get Kids into Survey family! Let’s learn some more about them:
Company Name: Juliano Associates
- Location: Wallingford, Connecticut, USA
- Why is it important for your company to help Get Kids into Survey? Let’s face it, our profession is aging out, and our numbers are dwindling year after year. Add to that the loss of university programs and the fact that most people have no idea what surveyors truly do. This program allows us to get in front of the future generations to expose them to what this profession has to offer and how rewarding it truly can be.
- What do you do? Juliano Associates focuses on land development projects and residential boundary surveys throughout Connecticut. My title says I am the managing partner, but that is just a fancy way of saying I do anything and everything around the office that needs doing.
- How long have you been in the survey industry? Well, since my father started the company in the basement of the family home in 1973, I would say just about all of my life. But officially my career began the summer of 1992 when I graduated from UCONN and started working full time.
6. How did you end up getting into the geospatial industry? I started my career as a civil engineer wanting to focus on design work, as I felt then that this was where professional recognition would come from. My father was more than happy to turn over the engineering work to me and focus on the survey side of the business. As I got older, I began to see just how wise my father was and why he was more than willing to let me handle the day to day engineering. As I started to run the business more and more, I hired young engineers that were hungry for design work which afforded me the opportunity to focus on surveying. I have never looked back.
- State a funny fact about you… No lie, I was suspended from school for a day for fighting when I was thirteen years old. There was no way my father was going to let me stay home where I could lounge around watching television all day. Instead, he dragged me to work and had one of his employees take me to a project where they were setting up targets for a large aerial survey. I got to paint white crosses on roads and parking lots and place pre-made cloth crosses in open fields, all while hiking around for hours in the woods as well. His idea of punishing me ended up being a pretty good day.
Hmmm, maybe this should have been my answer for how I got into the geospatial industry!
8. Favourite piece of kit and why? Definitely our Carlson GPS units. We bought our first receiver in 2013 not realizing how much we would be using it in our day to day operations. They have definitely transformed the way we do things in the field, from being able to set all our surveys on state plane coordinates to increasing the amount of accurate data that can be collected in a typical day.
9. Favourite Survey technique and why? My favorite technique is sitting down after all of the data has been gathered and working on the process of reconciliation between the physical evidence, the record maps, and deeds. There is nothing more satisfying then putting the puzzle of a parcel boundary together.
10. Your website
11. How did you choose the character and what does he/she/it represent? Mean to you? What’s his/her name? It may look like I am walking my dog, Daryl, but trust me when I say he is the one leading the way. Daryl is the backbone behind the company. He thoroughly enjoys welcoming everyone to the office and makes sure to point out where his cookies are located. He is lovingly referred around the office as HR. He knows just when to get you to chase him around the map table or when you need to take a break and give him a belly rub. He is very intuitive about these kind of things! He has been known to fall asleep on people’s shoes under the conference table if a meeting is running long. Just don’t mind the bubbles and drool if you happen to be eating something around him.
