About
Hands-on, coachable, and serious about the craft.
My experience spans production-shop welding and the work that makes a weldment come together: preparing parts, reading drawings for first-article work, managing distortion, and grinding or blending to a clean finish. I take pride in being dependable, careful with the details, and willing to learn the shop’s process.
I’m continuing to build range across TIG, MIG, flux-core, and stick welding. My next goal is to grow into broader fabrication and structural work while contributing to a team that values safe, consistent workmanship.
