Mark Daiute & chief survey dog Leo.
Principle Mark H. Daiute, PLS, began his career in Surveying in 1979 and started surveying fulltime in 1987. For Mr. Daiute surveying combines several passions. A love for history and the land, an interest in new technology and the desire to solve problems and mysteries all drive Mr. Daiute. Aside from his family Mr. Daiute is most proud of his License to practice Land surveying in the State of Maine. Mr. Daiute served as chapter director for the Midcoast Chapter of the Maine Society of Land Surveyors and on the Executive Committee of the Maine Society of Land Surveyors from 1995 to 2005.
Wife and partner, Sheryl Daiute, served the legal communities as a paralegal specializing in real estate for almost 20 years. Besides being a mother of three boys and the stepmother of 2 adults, Sheryl brings her talents and expertise in real estate to True North Surveying Services as a researcher and runs the business with an iron fist. Sheryl is responsible for billing and receiving.
Project Manager, George Fergusson brings more than 20 years of surveying expertise to True North Surveying Services. George and Mark met on a project in April of 1979 and have remained friends ever since. Prior to joining True North Surveying Services George was a principle with Bills and Fergusson and the firm of Fergusson and Associates. During his tenure with Bills and Fergusson George surveyed the entire town of Wiscasset. George has been on the cutting edge of technology. His survey of the Town of Wiscasset was one of the first surveys in the area to utilize the then, relatively new, Global Positioning System we know today simply as “GPS”. “True North” is proud to have George aboard.
