Greetings from the "Big Easy!" This week's episode of "Surveyor Says! The NSPS Podcast" finds us in New Orleans attending the 2025 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Annual Conference. With over 20K attendees, it was great to run across this week's guest, Ryan Hippenstiel, Surveyor-in-Residence - Solutions Engineering for DroneDeploy, one of the leading reality capture platforms. Your host, Tim Burch, sat down with Ryan to explore his career into surveying, his work in both public and private practice, and now in his role at DroneDeploy. We covered a lot of ground on this one, so check it out today!
