I lead field construction and telecommunications crews delivering safe, on-budget infrastructure projects.

I've led telecommunications construction operations at Wireless Construction Services since 2018, managing crews that build and maintain towers and related infrastructure across Montana and the Rocky Mountain region. I own active project operations from scheduling, routing, estimating, and bidding through closeout.

I manage warehouse and finance coordination for material ordering, inventory, invoicing, true-ups, and PO requests, while hiring and overseeing subcontractors. I also serve as a primary client contact, conducting job walks, attending project meetings, and resolving field escalations in real time.

Earlier, I directed regional tower crews at MRC Towers and managed wireless projects at WesTower Communications, with hands-on experience in tower upgrades, fiber, PIM, cable testing, EV charging, underground construction, and aviation/microwave systems.
