In July of 1994, Mr. Hayne traveled to Queenstown, New Zealand on a student visa.  While there he convinced a small engineering firm that they would be better off with him on their staff.  Upon returning to southern California he looked to further his career with an opportunity at a mid-sized Civil Engineering firm in East Los Angeles.  In 1996 an opportunity opened up on a construction staking crew in Winter Park, Colorado and he took it.  Over the next two years he grew from the “ground up”, experiencing each aspect of the surveying and engineering process to become a design engineer until his mentor passed away.  With the limited opportunities in Grand County, he moved to the Front Range.  While in Denver he gathered an expertise in stormwater runoff, erosion control and bid procurement.  He also gained valuable experience while being the field engineer of a 4000-Acre master planned community.  After a couple more years of experience and obtaining his Professional Engineer’s licensure, he broke away to start his own company in 2000.  He and the growing company have developed a reputation for being a “hands on” engineer, working with numerous municipalities and private developers.

Mr. Luttrell’s land surveying career has granted the opportunity to travel most of the Western United States witnessing things that many have not.  His work ranges from retracing original Public Land Surveys performed in the late 1800’s and mapping entire counties throughout the State of Colorado to resolving boundary disputes by mutual agreement prior to reaching the courts.  Additionally he has worked on numerous environmentally sensitive highway rehabilitation projects of particular public concern.  As a Colorado native, G&H Consulting Engineers and Grand County is the prime environment for him to further excel his surveying career.

Mr. Biller is one of the Design Engineers recruited to compliment the G&H Staff.  He began his education as a firefighter in his hometown of Coupeville, Washington and lived in Prescott, Arizona while obtaining his Pilot’s License.  Upon graduating college in May of 2004, he was anxiously awaiting a career opportunity granting him the ability to balance both work and play.  Consequently, he finds himself being mentored by the engineers at G&H, yet still having enough time to hit the slopes.  After an in depth search for the “right path”, Mr. Biller now lives happily in Grand County where his professional and personal goals are being achieved.
