Who I Am

Safety-First. Career-Driven.
Community-Minded.

I'm a motivated and safety-focused 2nd Year Crane Operator Apprentice based in Edmonton, Alberta. With Year 1 of my apprenticeship complete and roughly 1,500 hours banked toward Year 2, I'm closing in on 3rd Year eligibility.

At the Worley Edmonton Mod Yard I operate Zoom Booms in a fast-paced industrial environment and have earned valuable seat time on Tadano Rough Terrain cranes from 30 to 100 tons under experienced operators. I'm known for a strong work ethic, reliability, and picking up new equipment and procedures quickly.

Off the clock, leadership runs through everything I do — from captaining my football team to coaching younger athletes. I believe in doing the job right, looking out for the people beside you, and leaving every site and every community better than I found it.

Goal 01 — Journeyman

Earn my Journeyman Crane Operator certification and build a long-term career in the crane industry with a company I can retire from.

Goal 02 — Community

Use my trade to help build my community — contributing to a culture of safety, mentorship, and continuous learning on and off the job site.
