Summary
I have worked in the overhead hoist and crane business my whole life. There is no crane to big or to small that i cannot install. There is no electrical panel or electrical component that i cannot troubleshoot and repair. I have great people skills, and a great work ethic. I hate doing inspections but its part of the job so i will do them.
