Summary

I am a hard working welder/fabricator skilled in MIG welding, with certifications in the flat & horizontal positions with metal core wire, as well as vertical up, flat & horizontal positions with flux core. My work and the fabrication process is something that I am very passionate about. Learning more things so that I can become a better fabricator and grow as an individual is something that I am very committed to. While I am confident in my abilities as a fabricator and welder, there is still a lot of things that I do not know and am eager to learn and add to my skills in order to become a stronger fabricator.
