As a confident and skilled tradesman I excel in the field of fabrication and welding with 35+ years of experience.
My career started at 14, obtained my first submerged arc certification and recognized at my high school awards ceremony as the top welder at the age of 17.
After graduation I was fortunate to work with some of the industries best fabricators and welders in multiple fields, from semi trailer manufacturing in the agricultural industry, structural exposure with a crew of iron workers and in the oilfield rebuilding / fabricating mud tubs, mixing tanks, metric shoes, fishing tools, elevators, widow makers and shakers. Plus drill rig modifications that include the fabrication and install of hydraulic tongs, work platforms, cyclones, sonic drive heads and mast repair. Then ornamental iron for commercial and residential clients, fabricating / installing, railings, gates, décor, yard art, and more.
Once on my own, my crew and I focused on the wireless communication industry building elevated platforms, staircases, equipment bases, and antenna bracketry per approved drawings while still catering to all the industries mentioned above.
My references read like a phone book.
The downside, now I have an attitude of just because you can doesn't mean you should. lol......
I followed another tradesman on a site recently, and again, just because you can doesn't mean you should. hahaha..
Picks below are before and after. I had to rework every connection. I can say, they were "burnt in" hahahaha. well, not so much on the tacks. haha
