At BGE, we’re proud to celebrate the growth of our people, and few stories capture that spirit better than John Tobeck’s. After beginning his career in the culinary world, John made a bold pivot into geospatial technology, ultimately becoming one of our most skilled lidar specialists.
Since joining BGE in 2022, John has played a key role in strengthening our lidar program, helping establish the workflows, standards, and technical foundation that support our survey operations today. His recent professional lidar certification further elevates our ability to deliver accurate, high‑quality data and pursue more advanced, technology‑driven projects.
John is also contributing to BGE’s exploration of automation and AI, ensuring the data behind emerging tools is precise, reliable, and ready for next‑generation processing.
His journey reflects what we value most at BGE — curiosity, continuous improvement, and a supportive environment where people can grow and innovate. We’re excited for what John will help us build next.
