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!

Episode 265 brings together two AllTerra Central leaders — Scott Spears and Chris Mauldin — for a fast-moving conversation on UAVs, SLAM, reality capture, and the human side of geospatial technology. After the usual Geoholics banter and updates ,we dive straight into what surveyors are getting wrong (and right) about drone adoption.
Scott and Chris tackle the biggest misconceptions around UAVs, break down the differences between American and Chinese platforms, and explain how handheld scanners and SLAM systems are resetting expectations for accuracy and deliverables. They also explore how AI is accelerating faster than hardware — and why keeping people, ethics, and trust at the center of tech adoption matters more than ever.
Chris brings heart and honesty with insights on faith, family, and teamwork, while both guests highlight why surveyors are more essential than ever in a “shrinking world.” The episode closes with a look at what makes AllTerra Central unique and where they see UAVs and reality capture heading over the next five years.

Bridging the Field and the Office – Accuracy, Adoption & the Future of Photogrammetry!
This week, we sit down with Dallas VanZanten, a self-taught innovator who’s redefining the intersection of construction, geospatial, and technology.
From his early “aha” moment with drones in 2015 to his work helping companies implement Datumate’s DatuBIM platform, Dallas is proof that when accuracy meets adoption, digital construction becomes unstoppable.
A few things we talked about included:
✅ Building trust between field crews & project managers
✅ Avoiding accuracy pitfalls in coordinate systems & datums
✅ The evolution of drones from novelty to necessity
✅ How AI & automation are shaping the next five years
