Summary

I started welding at the age of 15. I had a great instructor, Mr. Dan Bishop, who actually retired from The Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Al.

I have worked for many companies over the years including my own business ventures.

I’m looking for a company that will recognize my talents and where I can work as a team. I don’t believe in limiting oneself.

Looking foward to the opportunity.
