Summary
I enjoy fabricating and welding and would love to continue to build on the skills and knowledge I already have in that area. I am most familiar with steel TIG welding but have some experience with TIG aluminum, as well as MIG and stick.
I have experience in customer service, shipping and receiving, and volunteering on a blown alcohol funny car team.
