Summary

I am a hard working individual that has started working at a very young age. I have worked my way up from a boots on the ground employee to a Manager of a 350 million dollar division. I have excelled my career though my customer repour, sales tactics and ability to problem solve. I am also a B-Pressure Red Seal Journeyman Welder. A class one driver as well with mechanical and engineering experience. I started my apprenticeship in 2010. I have experience with all types of welding processes and many types of metals excelling in SMAW, GMAW, FCAW and GTAW. I am always looking for a new challenge and always looking to try something new. I strive to use my experience teaching other workers and strive to learn new jobs. I have worked in many different job atmospheres from oil patch, plant/facility, electrical substations, agriculture, residential and tank inspecting to name a few. In my spare time I enjoy surfing and water skiing with my wife and sons, working on my ranch with cows and machinery.
