Summary

Rope Access Technician with 6 years experience mostly in building maintenance and envelope inspections. Familiar in pneumatic drilling, rock scaling and grouting. My goal as an L3 Rope Tech is to leave building maintenance and diversify my skill sets in more varied environments including supervisory roles. I enjoy working in team settings and solving complex rigging and rig to rescue systems to execute our required tasks. With over 2 decades of recreational climbing experience, working on and around Rope Access systems has been the most enjoyable and fulfilling work I have ever found.
