Denise Shipton, believe it or not is a Colorado native and a brat! Air Force Brat that is, she was born in Colorado and lived in several parts of the country and world including Italy. A graduate of Colorado State University she has worked in a lot of roles, primary schools, pre-schools and special education. At Point Consulting she continues to provide for others. Although Denise is a part-time administrator, she’s pretty sure she runs the place. When anyone has a question on any subject, she will offer an answer. When she’s in the office, morale is higher, and productivity is lower.

Dalton grew up in Weatherford Texas, which is just outside Fort Worth. He is a fan of all things outdoors but more so hunting, fishing, golf, and mountain biking. His attraction to the outdoors is what made him pursue a career in Land Surveying. After graduating from high school in 2009 from Weatherford High he obtained his first job with a friend’s dad just helping with field work on survey crew. Quickly he knew he wanted to learn and progress through the profession, so he joined Weatherford College and obtained his basics before transferring to Northlake College to join the Land Surveying Program and later studying project management at Colorado State university. Doing all of this while still managing to work a full-time job as a surveyor working in many different avenues of the profession from oil and gas, electric transmission lines and residential and commercial construction. In 2020 during the height of the pandemic he felt as if he needed a change and moved to Colorado and joined Point Consulting.

After years of not knowing what he wanted to do in life, Jason found Land Surveying through a most circuitous manner. It started with Pre-Med, then Organ tissue transplant, then deep dive into main frame computers, and then back out into the sun with geophysics and helicopters for exploration. It fell together there. With a few forays into GIS too, but we won't get into that now... As an NSPS Certified Survey Technician 2 Office/Field and a registered Land Surveyor in Training(LSIT), one thing is for sure, He's never leaving Land Surveying, and will be working hard to get the best results for our clients while fostering and building new relationships within our industry.

Project Engineer
Tyler is a native Coloradoan who was born in Denver. While growing up she played soccer and softball and honestly came out with more injuries than she would like to admit. Throughout high school Tyler participated in a STEM program that solidified her decision to attend Colorado State University (CSU) to attain her Civil Engineering Degree. Upon graduating from CSU, Tyler worked in the construction and utility coordination fields throughout the Denver Metro Area. It wasn’t until 2020, in the middle of the COVID outbreak, that she made the decision to move out of Colorado to gain new experiences, skills, and relationships. As a result, she lived in Texas and Arkansas for two years while working in land development. It was there that she found her passion for design work. Tyler enjoys the challenges that are presented and the satisfaction of having designs approved. Ultimately, she started to miss home and made the decision to move back. In doing so, she found a home at Point Consulting and is thrilled to be a part of the team!
