the State of
Georgia:
I am in my eleventh year of teaching at Middle Georgia and have also
taught Mathematics as an Adjunct Professor at College of Coastal
Georgia. I have 29 years of experience in Surveying and Civil
Engineering. Prior to coming to Middle Georgia, I was co-owner of
Pruitt & Purcell, P.C. in Brunswick for approximately 11 years and
have previously been employed with the Federal Aviation
