I taught 8th Grade for 7 Years between 1982 and 1989 at the Colorado City Public Schools. I retired in approximately 1990 from teaching school and started up my own business: Welding and Construction. I've been a certified welder most of my life and still am certified. I've also done framing in the construction field and am currently a Utah construction Contractor with a B100. I've worked with government agencies and got contracts with the Dept of the Interior, Lake Mead District and built boat docks for them. Currently, I get jobs from Home owners and build gates and ornamental iron fences, do structural Steel jobs, etc.
