Civil Engineering Blog Virgin
This is Deb Gosselin and not only am I the President of The Gosselin Group, Inc. but I am also a 50-something blog virgin! So please excuse me if the format is boring while I get the hang of this!
Since this is an opening post, just a few quick words about my background. I started out in psychology (have a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master's in Counseling from Michigan State), worked for five years as a counselor and prof in a community college and then got bitten by the civil engineering bug. I went back to school at Tri-State University in Angola, Indiana (fabulous place to get civil engineering training) and got a Bachelor's in Civil Engineering. Then it was off to a job as a City Engineer for a couple years (baptism by fire!) followed by 18 years in a private consulting firm. Last year I took the dive and went off on my own and thus...The Gosselin Group, Inc.
I plan to use this blog to talk about interesting jobs going on here, about new things going on in the world of civil engineering and surveying, and about "green community" and other green design (one of our favorite topics here).

This is my first "BLOG" also, good to see that you are now a business owner. Do you miss Piqua at all??

Good luck with your blog. Blogging, along with "Going Green," is the wave of the future. Being in a rural part of the country, I am wondering if you are experiencing the same downward spiral in land development as many other parts of the country that were thriving just a few years ago (Phoenix, Las Vegas, D.C., etc)? What we have seen is that the residential market, of course, is getting hammered, but the commercial development market seems to be doing quite well. I look forward to your comment.

I'll be checking in since I have recently struck off on my own into the world of consultancy.
