Dennis worked nearly a decade for Crooker Construction where he held various positions including running several paving teams as Lead Supervisor.​ He took on the role of Safety & Environmental Compliance Officer for us and handles all things safety always leading by example, very rarely do you see him without his bright yellow vest.  It was a brand new role that we have developed along the way.  Dennis was able to assess risk factors in the operations and make adjustments to our standard procedures while working side-by-side with the crew.  It’s a difficult and often thankless job that is so critical to the overall operation and Dennis’ ability to understand the regulations as well as respect the need for production has been an invaluable asset to the company.  He chairs the Safety Committee and leads all weekly safety training while working with both OSHA and MSHA regulations and inspectors to ensure our operations are safe and compliant for the employees.  In his “spare time” you’ll find Dennis attending training events and openly sharing his knowledge with the staff.
