Summary

Seasoned welder/fabricator with 14+ years experience in almost all aspects of the steel industry from design to final assembly. I have worked in many diverse environments from heavy structural steel to precision miniature components, and have several years experience leading a team to meet tight deadlines while upholding exceptional quality.

In addition, I spent two years of my career as a millwright, not only working on a vast range of mechanical equipment from diagnosis to repair, but also specialized in vibration analysis and laser alignment.

I look forward to a new and challenging career as a leader in an industry that demands excellence.
