Teacher Comments

My goal is to train students to become successful entry level welders. I accomplish this by providing a daily blend of welding theory, skill practice, and fabrication experience. More than 50% of my recent graduates have passed the A.W.S certification test, and many of them are now employed as full-time fabricators.!
