A salute to Jack Olson, blue-collar tower hero

By Jason Kardokus, Co-Owner, P&R Tower Company

Northstar Broadcast Contractors is P&R Tower's broadcast systems and rigging partner, and we're proud to share this tribute to Jack Olson. In a Radio World guest commentary, P&R Tower co-owner Jason Kardokus honors Olson, the veteran tower foreman who set the standard for safety and craftsmanship in the trade. The piece celebrates the values Northstar's crews bring to every project — safety first, work done right, and leaving every site better than we found it.
