Summary

I began welding in 2003. I attended welding school in 2008, and after graduation went on to complete a four year millwright apprenticeship, while working as a turbine millwright. Since completing my apprenticeship I have spent the last twelve years working as a journeyman welder and a journeyman millwright in many different industries, such as power generation, agriculture, utilities, new construction, food processing, and conveyor/sorter installation. Currently I am working in conveyor installation as a Mechanical Supervisor.
