When I struck my first arc in high school, I just knew welding was it for me. I have over 35 years of experience in the field that’s taken me from the Navy to working for my own company, and now to teach the next generation of welders.

The thing that I like the most about working with Western Welding Academy is that the school offers a real-world experience like no other does and all of the instructors are dedicated to the betterment of our students year-round.

In my free time, I like to go fishing, hunt, hike, and drive my snowmobile.
