I have been in the welding trade since i was 18. June 2017 will put me at 14 years welding. In this time i've had many different jobs. I started in a small shop mig welding components for costco stores, we did everything in house sand blasting and powder coating then packing. My next job was making stainless headers for lc eng. I made every component from straight pipe, then would finish them buy tig welding with silicon bronze. When i moved to florida i found a job tig welding for Ian conrad bergan. We made gauge equipment for tankers and barges, of all sizes and different models. I also have a referral letter from this company that i have attached. Moving to hawaii i worked for All state welding where i was the foreman right hand man, he made me lead man on the zoo restoration where i had to run the job. We also did anything that came into that shop. We made sets of stair then took them and installed them, on a two story building where i was running the job. We replaced grace pacifics dump trucks wear plates with ar400 plate and finished welding with hardfacing wire to help with abrasion resistance. Trident maritime was my next job, where i quickly passed welding test ending up with 13 different certs for ship repair. I also got all the weld joints that everyone else couldn't get.
