Pretty excited about that one - seems to be an widely misunderstood topic. Have presented on Professional Ethics as well.
I have attended all three seminars mentioned above. All three were well worth attending. The "Relative Positional Precision Explained in Everyday Language" really helped me wrap my head around the concept.
Todd is a great presenter, and even better, is a pretty nice guy as well. Glad he is visiting here now.

Cool.
Do you ever come to Indiana?
Can you do PE hours too?

His last name is "Slifer" - not at all common. Not a name you'd likely forget if you ever crossed paths.

Yes, sir, I do. Spoke in Indianapolis under the Half Moon Seminars banner in May. Had PLS and PE participants. Would welcome a chance to speak for an ISPLS event.
Welcome, Todd. I was at Kentucky last year with Jimmy.
Welcome, Todd. It was great seeing you at KAPS!

I'm Todd Horton, and I have the privilege of teaching land surveying full-time at Parkland College in Champaign, IL. Licensed only in Illinois, but have been honored to provide continuing education seminars for surveyors in 42 states.
More and more folks I meet in my travels these days are talking about SurveyorConnect.com. Poking around here tonight, I can see why. Great resource! Glad to be here. Good to see some familiar names too.

Hello Todd,
I don't know if you will remember me, but I am an Instructor for the Ohio Laborers Training Center. We met several years ago in Chicago at a LIUNA conference where you were teaching a class. I still have the work book that you gave me that you had put together for your classes.
I have been promoted from Instructor to Training Director since we met, however I still teach various surveying, blueprint reading, and grade checking classes.
I got on here to try and find some information on line and grade for small tunnels. I have viewed several of your Youtube videos and found them to be helpful in explaining some things about leveling.
Keep up the great work!
And, a big welcome to Dennis Underwood.
Welcome Todd. Would you be interested in doing seminars in Louisiana?
Thought I saw your name in the line up for LSAW this week; but it was Kris Horton...
You don't know her, do you?

No, Radar, I don't. Would be interesting to chat with her.
Last time I was anywhere near your home, my wife and I had a real nice stay at the VOQ at McChord around 1987. Reckon it has all changed quite a bit since then.
Welcome Todd
