Speaking of his new role he said: “While I enjoyed my eight month break from the crane industry, I found I really missed the business and the people at Sims. Not only does Sims have the best equipment in the southeast, they continue to invest in people and advancements. I am glad to be back and part of the team that advances and dominates the crane industry in Florida.”
