About Russell Surveyors & Associates

The principal of the firm, Daniel M. Russell, has over 33 years of land surveying experience in the San Luis Valley, Colorado and New Mexico. A geologist by degree, Dan was exposed to land surveying while growing up. His father was a professional engineer and land surveyor.
