I've been a hands on sort of person my whole life. I'm mechanically inclined and love to build and fix anything, I'm never afraid to try something new. I've been welding since I started shop class in grade 8 and had a welder in the garage to fix my bike! Since then I've always had an interest in welding and enjoyed doing it all through high school and after I graduated I had a few jobs such as building propane bottle cages and a welders help for Nabors drilling. Then I got into building downhole tools such as PDC bits as well as tricone bits, fracing ports, hole openers, tunnel boring machines, core bits and many other downhole drilling tools. This led me into another field of Robotic Welding. I have several years of experience operating and programming a welding robot welding manu things such as b-pressure piping, bull nose pullers, cladding inside of piping, hardfacing many different tools for downhole as well as excavation equipment, CWB welds with metal core and solid wire. During this time I managed to get certified in the operation and programing of the robot, as well as get my red seal journeymen ticket in welding.
