About Yans.
I got into tower work because it offered something most jobs don’t: solid pay, real skill, and the chance to push yourself physically and mentally every day. Climbing towers isn’t for everyone. I leaned into it, learned fast, and proved I can hold my own when the pressure’s on.
I’m hands-on. I’d rather put in the work than talk about it.
What I do here.

Stacking the tower in Pioneer, Florida for the Streamline Internet buildout. Streamline is a local WISP running a federally-funded grant project across Hendry County to cover communities the big carriers had written off. Over a thousand households finally got real internet out of that buildout, and the Pioneer site is one of the ones that made it happen.
Being on that stack, coming up on my first year, is still the work I’m proudest of.
