I began my working life young and grew up working for our family business of home remodeling and custom cabinetry. I also worked for an older gentleman grounds keeping, maintenance, and renal management until I went to college. I went to Kent State University and earned a Bachelors in the Justice Studies program. During College I started working for StoreTek Engineering part time and quickly felt at home in manufacturing, and I had a knack for it. After graduation I began working for StoreTek full time learning welding, fabrication, machining, and machine assembly. My last 5 years at Storetek was running and supervising the fabrication department. I left Storetek for an opportunity with Weldbot as their lead welder/fabricator, and welder repair tech.
