Summary

Extremely hard working, dedicated Marine veteran with nearly three years of experience in the welding field fabricating and repairing heavy equipment vehicles and motor transporting equipment. Comfortable with taking initiative, my work with custom fabricating parts saved our organization vital time, money and resources while increasing efficiency across operations. In conjunction with military training and collaborating in team-based environments, I have heavily invested in my own personal welding and fabricating projects in order to hone appropriate skills, increase knowledge amongst my peers, and ensure that any job that I lead or contribute to is done correctly and in a timely, safe manner.
