Summary

I have 20 years in the construction industry (welding and inspecting). My experience ranges from non code to code welding, from structural to pipe welding, from ornamental to the industrial field. My experience has helped me learn and perform welding codes, test procedures, read iso’s, blueprints, and piping plans. Working directly with chief inspectors to x-ray techs, with engineers down to laborers has given me a huge insight to progression in moving forward in this industry. Certified Welding Inspector known for maintaining high productivity and efficiency in task completion. Possess specialized skills in non-destructive testing, quality control, and welding procedure specification reviews. Excel at communication, problem-solving, and adaptability, ensuring smooth project execution and compliance with industry standards.
