Started welding at the start of 2024 Found a passion for it and pursued it by going to classes held at Minot North Highschool I look up to my teacher (Mr Bobby Lewis) as he has helped me with my experience far better than anyone I can imagine
To grow my passion I participated in the following welding competitions:
Northland technical college, behind the mask
Lynnes Welding Training (LWT), 11th annual highschool welding competition
Skills USA Ignite, Welding And Fabrication team build
These competitions helped me become a better welder and teammate, giving me experience in real world activities and work environments While at my competition for Lynnes Welding Training (LWT) I won 2nd place in the GMAW category and 3rd place in the SMAW category My second place prize included a $1,000 scholarship for a technical college/school of my choice
This has inspired me to become greater and to chase opportunities of such to find a future and a career for me in this field
