RODNEY ROCHESTER

ELEVATING THE TELECOM INDUSTRY. LITERALLY.

FORGED IN THE FIELD

Since 2011, I've lived and breathed telecom. From digging the first trench to managing multiple crews on complex builds, I've been on the front lines of connecting the world. This isn't just a job; it's a craft. I thrive on the challenge, demand precision, and believe in getting the job done right, safely, every single time. Every day is an opportunity to be better than yesterday.
