Summary

I am a Journeyman/Red Seal Tower Crane Operator with a proven track record at Lane Construction Services. I am a safe, smooth and fast operator. I have experience with 12 + 16 ton cranes and over 6000 Hours of seat time, with most of my experience on a 230 foot jib 16 ton crane freestanding 200ft. I am a natural leader and someone you can rely on. I am not petty, I do not hold grudges and I do not have any personal issues that effect my work. I love machinery, I have a mechanical background and I enjoy operating. Before working in the Construction industry I was Falling and Logging, always working around Large Machinery. Above all I am easy to work with. I have no problem operating silently and taking commands. I can also deliver great results with tasks that require more creative problem solving. If there is a solution I will find it.
