Get to know this Guy!

Gaetano, or Guy, is the Director of Operator Development for NJ Crane Expert, as well as the foreman for his family owned business, Long Island Tree Service. While he’s only been officially working with NJ Crane Expert for the last two to three years, Guy and Hans have been friends within the industry for closer to five.

Guy’s tree roots run deep; he is the third generation to work for and manage his family’s business which was founded back in 1954. What qualifies him? More like, what doesn’t?! Guy started working for the “biz” when he was 18, and balanced the full-time job with classes at Farmingdale State College. There, he earned his BS in Urban Horticulture & Design in just three years.

A big part of running a multi-generational business has always been employee training so joining our team was a natural fit. In working with NJ Crane Expert, Guy is able to teach crane operating (which he finds pretty freakin’ cool) to a larger audience, and help shape a safety standard within the industry, all while sharing a lifetime of experience and generations of advice that were passed down to him.

When Guy is off the clock, you can either find him relaxing with his wife and two dogs at home in Long Island, or you can’t find him at all; he and his wife like to get off the grid and travel as much as possible. Ask him about the last cruise he took… it’s a wild story!
