About Gage.
Not married, no kids. I come from a southern, God-fearing family. I grew up in sports, so competitiveness and teamwork are in my DNA, and I push myself to keep getting better at whatever I’m doing.
I got into tower climbing through family and friends in the home and business WiFi industry. They needed people to climb the towers and install the gear, and as soon as I started, I fell in love with the work.
What I do here.
Construction foreman is my title, but I’ve worked almost every phase of what happens on a tower site. A lot of people in this industry come out of cell or broadcast. I came up on internet equipment, and I spent years as a tech across every phase of the install. I can do any job on a site, no job too big or small.

Proud of
Completing the first 300-foot self-supporting tower the company ever built, in Q2 2025. Four-carrier capable and full spec. We took it from excavation, rebar, and concrete work all the way through to the tower stacked, the compound finished, and the lights and gear operational.

- Tales from the road
- The thing I enjoy most about working on the road is the chance to see different cities and states, meet new people, and do things I wouldn’t get to otherwise. I’ve worked in roughly 30 states, and I try to make time outside of the workday to get out and experience whatever the area has to offer. I love the ocean and the mountains.
