I currently have been working at Newport News Huntington Ingalls Industies as contract Welder on the Columbia class submarine for the past 22 months. It's been rewarding and exciting to build this new class of submarine and have a part in its future. I would like to continue building it for many more years.  From April 2024 to present.
