Work History

Field Operations Project Manager

Maxim Crane LP
03.2021 - 02.2022

I'm part of the Maxim team here in the Northern Rockies Region assisting in day to day field execution up to complex multi week long turn arounds. We offer Crane, Heavy Haul, and complex Jack-N-Slide. If you need it moved we can move it.

Crane Operator

Blattner Energy Inc
09.2020 - 03.2021

Operated various crawler cranes from 300 ton to 660 ton capacities erecting wind turbines. Performed maintenance on equipment as well as helped move cranes from tower to tower.

Logistics Coordinator

Mountain Crane Service
04.2020 - 08.2020

I personally managed the heavy haul operations for a challenging new wind farm location. The towers were located near Mount Rainier, and required substantial planning and careful coordination to execute the job safely.

Field Supervisor

RMS Cranes
01.2019 - 03.2020

My primary responsibility at RMS was oversight on projects throughout the Rocky Mountain Region. My management strategy has two priorities: ensuring compliance with all applicable safety and environmental standards, and prioritizing efficiency, in order to maximize profitability and maintain job completion targets.

Field Superintendent

Mountain Crane Service
08.2016 - 01.2019

While at Mountain, I assumed many roles. I mainly provided oversight on a range of projects, including: oil and gas, petrochemical plants, power generation, wind turbines, coal and mineral mining, and general construction. My position also included a wide array of administrative duties that accompanied the various projects I was responsible for managing.

Crane Superintendent

Bar-S Services
07.2014 - 08.2016

My goal as superintendent was to identify and address deficiencies. I began by streamlining operations for the rig-moving division. Once completed, I began diversifying their clientele to include new customers and job scopes that would suit their specialized fleet of equipment and personnel.

Crane Superintendent

Mullen Crane Service
03.2010 - 06.2014

My primary responsibility was managing our relationship with three local petrochemical refineries. The subsequent planning and hands-on management for the projects associated with those relationships was a challenge, one that I thoroughly enjoyed, and believe set a benchmark for success that I still hold myself to this day. I also operated many different cranes, managed day-to-day operations, and fulfilled office administration tasks from sales to billing.

Crane Operator / Field Operations Manager

Energy Transportation Inc.
08.2006 - 03.2010

My employment at ETI envolved mostly field experience, and some administrative duties. I operated a vast array of equipment and cranes, managed crews and projects, and acquired a strong foundation of experience that I still draw from to this day.
