		Glenn J. Lusink, PSM is a 25-Year DRMP Veteran Currently, Glenn serves as the Office Leader of the Jacksonville office and the Area Leader for DRMP’s North Florida Surveying and Mapping services.  He has been a tremendous asset to DRMP.  His success is a direct result of hard work, perseverance, and dedication to his staff and to DRMP.  He has demonstrated an unrelenting work ethic that he has passed on to his staff and to his peers.  Glenn has become a well known figure in the Survey and Engineering community over the years.  He has amassed a considerably large client base including the FDOT, the City of Jacksonville, Jacksonville Electric Authority and other counties, cities, utility authorities, contractors and engineering firms.  Glenn has developed and maintained one of the most productive and profitable profit centers for DRMP over the last several years and has met and exceeded his business plan and personal goals.

Gaining Valuable Experience
He began his career at DRMP in 1984 as a field crew member on a survey crew in the Orlando office.  He continued to work in this position for the next four years until he was promoted to Party Chief in 1988.  During this time, he was gaining important survey crew field training while working on large and small land development and major transportation projects such as two sections of the Suncoast Parkway, the interchange at US 27 and I-4 and SR 434.

In 1995, Glenn left the field work behind and transitioned into learning the skills of survey office production.  He began processing data for the field crews and other office production tasks.  At this time, he had started attending UHK to complete survey course work.  During the next four years, he completed his course work and applied to take the Florida Surveying and Mapping Registration Exam. 

Earning Licensure and Taking the Next Step
In 1999, Glenn became a licensed Professional Land Surveyor in the State of Florida.  During the next two years, he decided the next step in his career should be in helping DRMP grow and petitioned the Board to open a survey office in Jacksonville, Florida.  The office opened in May 2000 with Glenn and one other employee.  Since its opening, the Jacksonville survey office has grown to 22 employees with a continued client base in Jacksonville and its surrounding areas.  In March 2005, Glenn was unanimously nominated and selected as a Vice President by DRMP’s Board of Directors, and was nominated and selected as a Principal Associate in May 2007.  In an effort to assist the expansion of DRMP’s services to other regions, Glenn has also obtained licensure in North Carolina, Alabama and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Definition of Success
Glenn has been instrumental in growing DRMP’s survey services not just geographically or in number of employees.  “I measure the success of my own career by the number of employees I have mentored over the years to become quality surveyors, survey technicians and project managers.”
