Summary

I started learning how to weld in 2015, I've won a few competitions, and got the opportunity to work on some cool projects. While I was in high school, I got certified in Stick an Tig welding. After high school, I got my first welding job. I learned a lot about production and being safe on the job. It was a good experience, but I was ready for the next level; that's when I went to Valmont. I've had the chance to learn about different welding processes, cambering, and properly air arc gouging. I have worked on a lot of different kinds of power poles in all shapes and sizes, and I have also gained multiple welding certifications through Valmont as well.
