My extensive experience in soap box derby racing during my formative years, which involved hands-on fabrication of cars, laid the foundation for my subsequent career journey. I secured a job at a hardware store, where I gained invaluable knowledge about the common tools used in the fabrication industry. This experience kindled my passion for welding. To further my skills, I enrolled in a welding course at a community college, and this program not only fueled my interest but also motivated me to pursue an AWS certificate, which I am on track to complete by the end of November. I'm eagerly anticipating the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead in the welding industry.
