Summary

I started working Fast food at the age of 16, I was into classic cars & trucks, welding and basically just working with my hands. I had a job in a warehouse operating a forklift unloading trailers on a dock until i met my wife. Her father was a welder in the dairy industry. I started working with him as a helper. I learned a lot from him such as basic arc welding torch use and use of a chop saw. At 21 years old I had my daughter and 18 months later i had my son at age 22. Work was hard to find in Tulare/Visalia area so I moved to Bakersfield work and that's when i began working as a welder in fab shops. I have raised 2 children that are now a welder and a realtor as well as my wife of 20+ years is as well. I enjoy sports, camping, animals, traveling, and DIY home projects. I've been working for PCL for 15 years which i'm very thankful for and plan to retire here.
