Talented welder with 7 years and extensive background in MIG/TIG, flux and stick welding. I started welding as a child with my father building race cars in our shop at home. From starting at home I’ve worked in a few different shops and factory settings doing things like repairing farm equipment and building cattle gates, building heavy haul trailers, manufacturing heavy equipment attachments, and now doing anything from fuel, water, sewer carbon and stainless pipe to structural building. The last two year I have been working here in Washington on a number of different ships in the Seattle area.
