Ken Martinez,LSI and Autodesk Certified Civil/GIS Applications Engineer

Ken started his career working in various aspects of Surveying and Civil Engineering in 1983. He began as a draftsman, hand drafting transmission lines and substation layouts with ink and mylar at Generation and Transmission Utility. Ken has been utilizing the benefits of Autodesk software since the first versions came out to solve his drafting needs, especially making changes and simplifying repetitive tasks. In the early nineties, Ken moved into Surveying. In working with an environmental firm with topography maps and boundary surveys, he was able to do both field and office work. This gave him experience and a better understanding of both surveying and civil engineering. In the mid-nineties, Ken moved into Land Development where he gained the majority of his experience in Autodesk® Land Development Desktop, and then worked his way into Civil 3D®. Ken has a wealth of experience and knowledge in surveying and civil design in the utility and construction industries. He brings his vast knowledge of over 22 years experience in Land Development and Civil 3D® products to Comm-Tech. We look forward to sharing his experience with you.
