Episode 266 - Dustin Gardner, PLS
This one’s got HEART.
In Episode 266 of The Geoholics, we sit down with Dustin Gardner, PLS—a guy who somehow combined American literature, math, criminal justice, surveying, fatherhood, service, and storytelling into one damn good life.
From San Diego roots to EV infrastructure projects…
From survey outreach and historical preservation to mentoring foster youth…
From fishing with his son to writing books that challenge how we think about purpose…
Dustin is living proof that surveying isn’t just lines, points, and coordinates—it’s context, character, and contribution.
We talk career moments that make you stop and say “I belong here”, why teaching the next generation matters, how storytelling and surveying are basically cousins, and what it means to build a legacy that goes way beyond the job title.
This episode will:
-Inspire you
-Ground you
-Remind you why you got into this profession
-And probably make you call a mentor you haven’t talked to in a while
Hit play. Trust us.
Music by Waylon Jennings!
