About

as a young aspiring welder, mechanic, heavy equipment operator, rancher and among the many other jobs I have had in my short few years in the work force what I lack in time spent in jobs I make up for in my experience of learning new roles in many different forms, from a young kid who grew up working on my parents farm, to now going after my soon to come to fruition of being a certified welder once again and becoming a traveling welder, I may not have much in terms of experience but all I am looking for is a company to offer me a chance to grow and chase that goal and make an even bigger name for myself in the welding industry.
