Nicholas Doring portrait

Nicholas Doring

Surveyor & GIS Specialist

Born and raised in the Bay Area, I’ve spent over a decade building a career in land surveying, drawn to its blend of technical precision and real-world impact. My foundation in the field comes from a Bachelor’s degree in Geography and Environmental Studies with a GIS emphasis from the University of Oregon, and an Associate’s degree in Surveying Technology from Santa Rosa Junior College.

Since entering the profession in 2014, I’ve developed hands-on experience across a wide range of services — boundary surveys, topographic mapping, construction staking, and ALTA/NSPS land title surveys among them. That breadth has shaped a working style that’s detail-oriented and field-to-finish reliable, with accuracy at the center of everything I do.

Above all, I believe good surveying is built on trust. That means clear communication, dependable results, and relationships with clients that go beyond a single project.

When I’m not in the field or at the office, you’ll likely find me out fishing or spending time with my family.
