Summary

In the 14 years I have been employed as a welder/fitter I have seen leaps and bounds in my own progress to become the best I can be. I have the experience of a framer, fast-paced production work is no stranger to me. I have the experience of a metal roofer which has instilled a great desire for aesthetics. Safety is also very valuable as I have been employed to a company that had one of the lowest TRIF ratings in Canada (Top 1%). If you need someone with integrity who values safety and productivity, please give me a call at 1-587-226-0352
