Never heard of him, but after looking him up he seems to be associated with a different, smaller association.
One thing to keep in mind, there is a National Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors (SAMS) that is basically the governing body in the industry. Anyone can claim to be a surveyor, but ones that are under the organization are accredited and are held to educational guidelines in the form of courses that need to be taken, conferences that need to be attended, etc. to keep up on the latest investigative methods, industry trends, etc.
You can verify on the following website if a surveyor is part of the assocation:
