Summary
I am an experienced maintenance mechanic with multiple welding type experience. I enjoy being able to figure out how something works and be able to make it work again. I became interested more in welding in2013. I attended Surry Community College to learn the basics and have been able to learn more of the trade through my current job experience and further education and classes including mig, Tig, and stick welding, running a burn table, and running saws. I have experience working in a machine shop which included running grinders, taping machine, and documenting inspections on the machine parts I produced. I also have taken classes in parts fabrication and have used this in my field of work as well.
