Brady Kalessa

Brady’s journey in surveying started while attending the University of Georgia, where he earned a degree in Wildlife Sciences. He later returned to school for surveying and trained under a respected Athens surveyor who shaped his passion and love for the profession. Outside of work, he enjoys being outdoors—whether that’s hunting, fishing, or tackling a new project at home with his wife. Brady is also a member of Beaverdam Fire Department and Bethlehem Church, both of which play a big role in his life and connection to the community.
