Summary

I have nearly a decade of welding and fabrication experience, however I am not limited to just that, I am versatile. My experience ranges from welding in the TATA Soda Ash Mine in Green River, pipeline and facility construction to commercial/residential electrical, mud motor rebuilding and working as a Derrick Hand for the workover rigs. I believe in communication and working as a team. If the team isn't on the same page then we cannot perform at 100%. I strongly believe in solutions, not problems.
