I got into welding by doing DIY projects at home and helping family and friends with small jobs. Even when I wasn’t welding for a living, I always found myself coming back to it. For me, welding is more than just work—it’s an art form that I truly enjoy.

With around 6 years of professional welding experience and several more years of welding on the side, most of my background comes from building plants, working on everything from structural I-beams to pipe.

Outside of welding, I enjoy hunting, fishing, anything with a motor, and spending time at the gun range.

What I love most about teaching at Western Welding Academy is the opportunity to do what I love while teaching students who are just as passionate about welding. Watching them grow and develop their skills is incredibly rewarding.

What makes Western Welding Academy stand out is our detailed and comprehensive curriculum. Our in-depth course is built to make sure our students are fully prepared to achieve their goals.
