Ryan Ortbals
Bio
I attended the University of Missouri-Columbia where I received my Bachelor’s in General Studies. After college I got a job working at Civil Design, Inc., a small civil engineering firm in St. Louis, where I worked for thirteen plus years as a Water Resource Tech and Land Surveyor. I worked a lot of rewarding projects during my time as a Land Surveyor. Some as small as locating property corners for a single home to as big as total bridge replacement over the Mississippi. My most memorable experience I had as a surveyor was finding a property corner stone set in 1865.
