Born and raised right here in the Pensacola area. attended Jay high school where I received my diploma. Went on to attend and graduate Locklin technical center where I received my welder technology degree and my advanced pipe program degree. After I left school I tended to building my company and doing shutdowns and jobs for other companies as well.
I opened my own contracting welding business whenever I was 17. Starting with jobs that ranged from farm equipment to the last one which was building nuclear missile containers for the Japanese military. I have hired 2 Locklin graduates as workers and always look to expand work and give kids the opportunity to try and make it out of school with a full time job . We have jobs located all over the south as of right now and I’m constantly meeting with other companies and working with and building relationships with contractors as well.
