Summary
I started welding in high school , helping my dad weld his 1946 Willys jeep. After highschool, I went to trade school. I passed on the first try of the state welding test prior to graduation from York Tech. Shortly after graduation, I went through a temp agency to get the job at Datum. I then got fully hired on at Datum and stayed for about a year. I left Datum to look for new jobs and to freshen up on techniques I didnt use there.
