Aaron Duran

I have roughly six years of experience in welding structural joints, skilled in MIG and TIG welding on steel and aluminum. I have some minor practice in stainless steel GTAW/TIG welding. Fair ability to read blueprints and deliver acceptable results . Idealistic in suggestions on effective solutions and operational efficiency. I also have aprintece level skills on wood working skills. I am committed to learning all I can, being teachable, working hard, and producing products to the best of my abilities.

I graduated from Escambia Virtual Academy in the Year 2012, immediately started collage as soon as I left Hight School to study English, and running my own lawn care business for many years to earn money for church missions, but it soon blossomed into a full time career with God's blessings until we shut it down in late 2019. During that time I graduated college with an AA Major in English, and immediately step into trade school to learn how to weld inspired by my love and fascination with metal works. While I was in welding program at George Stone I continued to run the business with my mom and step-dads help school until I got my first welding job. From there onward I would go to work in several jobs in the welding and fabrication business, gaining more experience in my practice in steel welding. Along the way I also learned how to weld aluminum joints both for structural and cosmetic purposes. During my time at George Stone I got to participate in Skills USA fabrication competitions with a team consisting of me and two of my fellow class mates. Our fabrication team won George Stone first place the State Championships, and 13th in the National competition. Glory to King Jesus my Lord and my savior. Soon after I graduated the advanced course and moved on to work in many jobs both in fabrication and machine operations.

I am certified as a welders helper. I also have certificates from George Stone Technical Collage in 6G SMAW pipe welding, 6G GTAW or TIG pipe welding, 3F and 3G stuctual welding in FCAW, GMAW or MIG, SMAW or stick structural steel joints.
