I am an experienced crane operator and construction professional with a background in multiple trades and leadership roles. I work well in team environments, have strong leadership skills, and adapt quickly to new challenges. I have 2+ years of experience operating rough-terrain and all-terrain cranes up to 160+ tons.

I also have hands-on experience operating boom trucks, skid steers, forklifts/telehandlers, excavators, and backhoes. In addition, I am skilled in welding, torch cutting, plasma cutting, and using a wide variety of hand and power tools. I own my own tools, have reliable transportation, and am willing to travel or relocate.
