I have 27 years of experience in steel fabrication. Starting as a laborer, I progressed through all positions in a steel fabrication shop including crane, press brake and plate rolls operation. I then spent about 7 years as a fitter/welder before earning an associate degree in Computer Aided Drafting and Design. Upon completion of the degree, I worked as a detailer / project manager within the same company. Since 2009, I have worked in quality control as a CWI in structural steel, specializing in AWS D1.1 and D1.5 structural and bridge construction. I earned a NACE CIP level I and ASNT level II NDT certs in MT, PT, and UT along the way. I recently completed the WPS qualifier program to hold that AWS endorsement as well.
