Fort Wayne Project Manager Nolan Mark has added “author” to his many talents beyond land surveying. Nolan wrote two articles appearing in the Fall 2020 issue of the Hoosier Surveyor Magazine. Nolan says he moved out of his comfort zone and turned writer to promote the Indiana Young Surveyors Network (IYSN) that he chairs. The group, open to people under age 35 or who have earned their degree within the last 10 years, provides mentorship and support to industry newcomers. Nolan’s first article gives an overview about the IYSN and the second tells of his journey in land surveying. “When you write about what you love, it takes the fear away,” Nolan says. “I enjoyed encouraging others to take the next step in their careers!”

You can read both articles by turning to page 6 at this link. Here’s hoping Nolan’s prose inspires young land surveyors to progress in their profession.
