I have worked in the food service industry for 7 years now and decided i wanted to start living instead of surviving. I started welding school at Travis technical college in August of 2025 and have enjoyed learning and growing. I am certified on SMAW , FCAW, and GTAW, i am also proficient in oxy-acetylene cutting and using a grinder. I dont have welding experience but i have a hard work ethic and a passion for learning.
