A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM EDDIE

Built to
begin again.

No matter what the situation may seem, darkness always gives way to light.

“In my darkest days, I knew God had a plan…”

We take losses. We bounce back. A designer is always willing to restart.

My name is Eddie—let’s create.

SURVEYING, CAPTURE & PROJECT DELIVERY

From field conditions
to project decisions.

My career connects land-development CAD, survey technology, international laser scanning, industrial metrology, product management and technical training. The career record below preserves the employers, dates and source material.

The experience summaries below reflect my professional account. Published project records and professional recommendations follow.

Eddie describes campus-scale aerospace assignments, including Kennedy Space Center, and a three-month Piper Aircraft engagement focused on scanning-workflow automation and training. Restricted technical details and project imagery are not part of this public profile. His experience also includes time-critical scanning and model delivery for COVID testing centers during the pandemic.

SURVEY & CIVIL FOUNDATIONS

Understand the site.

Survey and land-development workflows, citywide utility projects, roads and drainage. Sanitary and storm-drainage systems, terrain and existing conditions all contribute to the same project picture.

UNDERGROUND CONDITIONS

Look below the surface.

Ground-penetrating radar and underground-utility work connect subsurface evidence with the survey, design and construction team. Source confidence and the limits of each observation stay with the data.

POSITIONING & CONSTRUCTION

Carry control into the work.

GPS site calibration, GPS and laser machine control, and robotic construction workflows. The coordinate basis needs to remain useful from field measurement through layout and delivery.

MOBILE MAPPING

Capture at project scale.

Mobile mapping and site capture for race tracks, including Daytona 500 work, and theme-park environments.

INTERNATIONAL LASER SCANNING

Bring the site to the team.

Early terrestrial laser-scanning work included the 2006 Universal Studios Japan assignment with JMR: park-grid control, topographic and terrain deliverables, selected 3D models and point clouds. Published case study [S01]

CONSTRUCTABILITY & LOGISTICS

Test the work sequence.

Virtual assembly, simulation, schedule context and spatial logistics help teams examine access, fit and sequencing. My work connects measured conditions with the practical decisions that follow.

Experience across the full workflow.

Southeastern Surveying & Mapping, Oliveras CAD Design and Southern Laser established the early CAD and survey-technology foundation. JMR, FARO, 3SPACE and McKim & Creed expanded that work into scanning leadership, product management and applied metrology. Later work with Hexagon and GO3D carried it into regional support, laser trackers and project technology. Read the documented career history ↓

PROFESSIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS

People who know
the work.

Recommendations published on my professional profile, with their original context retained.

FARO & LASER-SCANNER TECHNOLOGY

Dr. Bernd-Dietmar Becker

Recommends Eddie as a business partner and laser-scanning and surveying expert, recognizing his technical skill, entrepreneurial thinking and customer focus.

I worked under Dr. Becker during my FARO Technical Product Manager period, 2006–2008, as recorded in my professional account. FARO identifies him as an iQvolution co-founder and credits his laser-scanner development work with his brother.

TRAINING & BUSINESS STARTUP

William Kenneth Krueger

Credits Eddie with valuable training and advice during the startup of his company, alongside his knowledge and quality of work.

STRATEGIC DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIPS

Connect the evidence.
Strengthen the whole project.

I’m seeking strategic design and technology partnerships that connect field evidence, the complete project dataset and the teams delivering the work. The invitation covers shared capability, useful workflows and long-term collaboration. Subcontract assignments are outside this invitation.

Proposed collaboration for discussion. Existing project responsibilities and access permissions remain subject to agreement.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

The next chapter
starts here.

I’m an entrepreneur. A college dropout. I’ve taken losses, and I’ve started again. We bounce back. We keep learning. We create.

  1. The beginning · CAD & surveying

    A different route.

    I studied engineering technology at Embry-Riddle and left in 2002. My education continued through work: survey drawings, terrain models, field problems, and my own CAD drafting business. That became the foundation for everything that followed.

    Explore the early chapters ↗
  2. 2004–2012 · From the field to the world

    Making the complicated useful.

    Reality capture and digital twins are a central thread in my work. My interests also include virtualization and cybernetics: how physical environments, digital models, and feedback systems connect. Laser scanning took me from JMR to a published project at Universal Studios Japan, then through FARO, 3SPACE, and McKim & Creed. I worked across field capture, applied metrology, training, and sales—learning how to turn new technology into something people could use.

    Explore the projects ↗
  3. 2012 onward · Building businesses

    The entrepreneur in me.

    The original GO3D grew from my scanning and consulting experience. Later came outdoor retail, charter fishing, and other ventures. The industries changed; the responsibility stayed personal. Find the need, do the work, and stand behind what you deliver.

    The businesses I’ve built ↗
  4. 2013–2015 · New Smyrna Beach

    A shop. A gathering place.

    Owning New Smyrna Outfitters brought another part of my life into my work. In April 2014, the shop hosted the Fly Fishing Film Tour at HT’s Pub 44, alongside Capt. Brian Clancy’s Mosquito on the Fly III tournament benefiting Casting for Recovery.

    See the original event record ↗
  5. New Smyrna · Islamorada · The Florida Keys

    Life on the water.

    With NSB Fishing Charters and CANA Sportfishing, the water became part of my working life. Fishing, guiding, and sharing time outdoors belong in this story too—from the flats with friends to the Islamorada fishing event supporting veterans.

    Explore the captain’s chapter ↗ CANA’s Islamorada photographs ↗
  6. Today · The power of one

    Experience, put to work for you.

    My later chapters include Hexagon. Automation, rapid prototyping, and custom application development are part of what I bring to the work. Today it’s me and GO3D Digital Systems: one person bringing that experience to your project, with the same care I give my own. A designer is always willing to restart. I am too.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF FIELDWORK

The water has
its own rhythm.

New Smyrna Beach. Islamorada. The Florida Keys. Outdoor retail and charter fishing have been part of my working life alongside scanning and engineering.

Time on the water brings another kind of observation: changing light, changing conditions, and knowing when to look closer.

Research notes & remaining gaps

The archive combines contemporary publications, business filings, historical profiles, six résumé versions from Eddie’s career archive, and his direct confirmation. Dates from a professional-profile mirror are labeled as such; repeated mirrors can derive from one underlying profile. Public web records cannot establish every job or exact period of employment.

Career details still to reconcile

OrganizationWhat the record saysWhat remains open
