Accomplishments

Learning to weld when I was a teenager at my grandfathers custom feed mill, it was always something I had in my back pocket. I was also taught to be a carpenter, and started my own flooring business for years. When work slowed, and competition got to a point that I didn’t want to be part of that industry anymore, I fell back to my second trade. Once I started welding again, I became a highly respected welder very fast. I love throwing my hood down and welding, realizing I had accomplished these skills at a young age.
