I'm 29 years old, initially gained interest and passion in the mobile crane industry through my father who was an advanced rigger specialising in steel erection across all major CFMEU projects in Melbourne for 35+ years.
He mentored and guided me into the industry, and showed me what it takes to be an honest hard working young man with a safety conscious mindset.
I'm always looking to learn and listen, I have a genuine interest in this game and looking to build my knowledge for a long term career.
I started working for Statewide cranes and multiple other mobile crane companies on crosshire including Rigweld, Mackay United, Advanced, Associated, before going fulltime with Statewide. Below is some of the projects and work I personally have been involved in over the past five years.
