Supervisor. Mark managed the field crews and equipment
to keep the field crews up and running smoothly. Mark
attended Normandale Community College and has taken
various boundary law and land surveying classes at Dunwoody
Institute. Scott Soukup, PLS started as a computer draftsman
in July 1976 with Sunde Land Surveying. Scott moved
up over the years to become a key component of office
operations and office manager. He attended Hennepin
Technical College for Civil Technology and also has
taken Surveying and AutoCad classes at Dunwoody Institute
and St. Paul Technical College.
In December 1998, Ed sold Sunde Land Surveying, Inc to

In January 2007, Sunde Land Surveying, LLS opened an office
in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. This office has allowed us to better
serve our clients, accommodate projects in the fast growing North
Metro and make our field crews and office personnel more accessible.
In May 2007, Sunde Land Surveying, LLC purchased the records of the
following companies: Minnesota Valley Surveyors & Engineers Corporation,
Martinez Corporation, North American Surveys and Arleigh Smith. This has
added to the vast amount of records obtained with the purchase of Comstock
and Davis. A library has been established at the Bloomington office to
house the historical records, books and photographs of the acquired companies
and the historical information accumulated by Sunde Land Surveying during its
30 years in business.
In July 2007, Sunde Land Surveying purchased Carley-Torgersen, Inc, a
land surveying company that was located in Little Canada since 1948.
Carley-Torgersen was started by Milner W. Carley and was eventually
sold to his son, Don Carley. In 1990, Dave Torgersen, a long time
employee, and his wife, Karen, purchased the company and named it
Carley-Torgersen, Inc. The acquisition of their plats and survey
information of St. Paul and the surrounding area will widen the array
of historical surveying records to which Sunde Land Surveying has access.
As of January 1, 2008, John K. Barnes, PLS has retired from Sunde Land
Surveying after over 30 years of service. Arlee J. Carlson, PLS and
