I ran my first crane when I was 9 years old. Great Lakes Lifting Solutions was the first dealer for a new type of crane called a Spydercrane. In 2013, I stepped aside from the working the family business fulltime to start my own scrap and demolition company. While running the scrap company and still renting cranes I had glazing customers asking me for better solution to set glass. In early 2015 I stumbled upon a piece of equipment called a SmartLift. The first SmartLift arrived in the US November 2016. After a short test period to see the reception of the equipment in the US market, we renegotiated a deal with the manufacture to become the US importer of the equipment. At this time I sold my scrap business to become fully involved in developing the market for the SmartLift. Today for the second time in my life, I have the unique opportunity to introduce the America market to a new piece of equipment that will forever change the way glass is installed from coast to coast..
