Summary
I am a skilled welder of over 25 years. I take my job very serious and am very detailed oriented. I believe in doing the job right the first time and never going back due to errors. I keep my own work area clean and free of debris so as to have a safer work space. I have also worked in the new home construction field, done years of different types of roofing as well as home repairs in all aspects of the field.
