Summary
I grew up around the metal industry, and as I grew older I joined metal shop as soon as I could. All four years of high school I learned so many skills In and around the shop. I joined college at OMIC with Lucas Briggs in scappoose PCC and wanted to learn every type of welding possible. I can arc weld thanks to the teachings of PCC OMIC. I am halfway through college and intend on finishing for my associates in applied sciences. I am a quick on the spot learner and ready to learn new things.
