Summary
I grew up in Fairfield Idaho, participating in school sports like Football, Basketball, and Track. Growing up in Fairfield the winters are harsh, with tons of snow. I learned how to operate a skid steer at a young age to move the snow.
I became intersted in welding at a young age and have worked welding Jobs fabricating, welding, reading blueprints, and installing steel since I was 17. I learned a ton of valuable skills at the College of Southern Idaho through the welding program. Learning how to weld Steel, Stainless Steel, and Aluminum with all processes. Now I am excited to use more of those skills in my professional career.

Growing up in the Sawtooth wilderness I fell in love with the outdoors, and all of the activities associated with it. I've been riding Dirtbikes and fishing since I was 5. I also started sports when I was 5 too. I started hunting when I was ten, and I have made some of my greatest memories while hunting.
