Performance Highlights:
I work project jobs and have traveled all over the country and also internationally. My most recent project job was an ethanol plant in Ohio where I operated a variety of cranes.
I would have to say that of late my most interesting accomplishment involved a temporary position operating an overhead in-cab bridge crane in the steel manufacturing industry.
