Work Experience
Welder
John Deere - Wisconsin
December 2022 to Present
So my job would basically consist of watching a robot and prepping a frame by using a tool gun and putting on other pieces on this frame. Once all the pieces are on I will put the frame into the jig using a crane and fix any defects on this frame once it comes out. Picker
QVC - Florence, SC
August 2022 to Present
Currently I drive the SP ( stand picking) equipment this job can be very dangerous because it’s in the air and you have to build your pallet as is. Meaning if it’s in the air several feet in the air then that’s what you have to do. I love this job because it’s very challenging but keeps my in shape. Welder/Assembler
Kubota Industrial Equipment - Georgia

My futures for this job was create buckets starting from scratch. I would weld up buckets our competition was John deer, this job kept. My on my toes because I had to create everything almost perfectly fabricating pieces perfectly creating a bucket. I created equipment that were used for the outdoors. Welder/Assembler
Fraizer Industrial - Lamar, SC
October 2017 to June 2019
My duties for this job was welding pallets and welding at fast paste. I would cut sized using a tape measure to make sure the sizes are the correct piece and it together to weld. I also worked on the assembly line my job was to put stickers on the tank. You will have to have the stickers as perfect as you can get them while moving at a paste so the line won’t stop.
Welder/Welding Inspector
HONDA - Florence, SC
August 2014 to June 2017
Responsibilities
I worked on Robots and gained Welding Inspecting experience from working this process. The area were I work was call "Front Comp", It involves me putting in the two to three pieces inside a robot for them to be welded. I was also a welder inspector that involves me carefully looking at all pieces that came out of the front comp and look for any defects, then is where I would fix them. Education
