With four years of experience as an overhead crane technician and nearly five years in crane inspection, I have had the opportunity to work in diverse environments, travel to unique locations, and gain firsthand insight into the industry.

My passion for safety drives everything I do. Conducting thorough inspections allows me to play a direct role in preventing accidents and ensuring that crews operate in a secure environment. Knowing that my work helps protect lives makes this career incredibly rewarding.

Beyond inspections, I value the relationships I build with customers. Open communication and trust are essential in maintaining a safe and efficient workplace. I take pride in educating and assisting clients to ensure their equipment meets the highest safety standards.

My mission is clear: to make the crane industry safer, one inspection at a time.
