Kristopher M. Kline, president of 2Point, Inc., has a four-year degree (class of '84) in General Science from Bridgewater College located in Bridgewater, VA. He has been involved in the surveying profession since graduation.

Kris became licensed in North Carolina in 1991 (PLS L - 3374). He is a 1999 graduate of the North Carolina Society of Surveyors (NCSS) Institute, a three-year continuing education program that for many years drew national attention for the quality of its curriculum and instructors. Kris served for 3 years as Chairman of the NCSS Education Committee.

In 2001, Kris began offering continuing education courses in North Carolina on legal aspects of retracement. More recently, his teaching career has expanded to include conferences and seminars nationwide. Course offerings now include a broad range of topics, including adverse possession & other unwritten rights, riparian law, mineral rights and courtroom preparation. Customized courses tailored to the jurisdiction in which they are presented enhance their value to the professional. Kris has presented several keynote addresses for state conventions.

In 2011, he established “Unmistakable Marks,” a new column published in “Point of Beginning,” a trade magazine for surveying professionals. Kris presently submits bi-monthly articles for the magazine, with over 30 articles published to date. These articles are written for a national audience and generally focus on various legal aspects of boundary retracement.

In August 2013, Kris published his first book, “Rooted in Stone: The Development of Adverse Possession in 20 Eastern States and the District of Columbia.” This text considers adverse possession and prescriptive easements from their early origins to the present day. Separate chapters are dedicated to variations between jurisdictions in the eastern United States.

His second book, “Riparian Boundaries and Rights of Navigation,” includes extensive discussion of the many definitions of the term “navigable.” This short volume was completed in 2015 and focuses on property rights along smaller rivers, streams, lakes, and estuaries. It considers the inevitable confusion that results when modern definitions are applied to early grants and the effects of subsequent legislation on riparian rights.

Kline’s third book was released in 2016. “How to Fix a Boundary Line” chronicles variations in the legal mechanisms related to unwritten property rights across the United States. Topics include acquiescence, part performance of oral contracts, adverse possession, estoppel, and the doctrine of merger.
