I started Welding at 16 years old, at 18 years old I applied for a welding position at Custom Industrial Products and got the job. I also learned how to powder coat there. I am always willing to learn something new to make me faster, better, and more valuable to the company I work for. I have a natural talent in welding as it is something that I love and have a passion for. Anytime I make a mistake I take it as a learning experience. I look at my work as it reflects who I am; so i take pride in everything I do. Thank you for taking your time for looking at my resume.
