When I was a kid I would build projects using nuts and bolts. The projects worked out but always had a little wiggle in them. Years passed on and when I was 16 I picked up my first welding torch. This changed me forever; I fell in love with working with my hands all over again. I learned through trial and error, with some tips and tricks from a dear friend some coworkers as the years progressed.

Starting out with mig welding (GMAW, wire fed), then learning stick welding (SMAW), and then finally tig welding (GTAW). I have a strong desire to learn new things and advance my skills. Working with different alloys and metals, like food grade stainless steel to marine aluminum applications, I tend to push myself into new challenges, constantly trying to broaden my skill set. I proudly have over 20 years’ experience in welding, taking quality seriously and there are no cutting corners when executing a job -unless it’s a sharp corner ;).

Welding isn’t just a task, it’s a critical process. Knowing the importance of how to weld correctly and just welding is one of the many attributes that sets me apart from the rest!

• Tig Welding (GTAW, ‘Heli Arc’)
• Stick Welding (SMAW)
• Mig Welding (GMAW)
• FCAW, FCAW-G
• Passivation of Stainless Steel

Stainless steel Passivation:

An effective weld cleaning solution is essential for all fabrication of stainless steel in industries that deal with construction, repair, maintenance, manufacture and production. In the past the weld cleaner task of removing welding oxidation was regarded as hazardous, time-consuming and difficult.

With advances in technology, electrolytic weld cleaning involves cleaning and passivating the metal surface by the application of strong electric currents and electrolytic fluids, in a cost-effective and fast manner. The process is also much safer when compared to the hazardous process of pickling paste application. With our system, you can also eliminate the time-consuming extra steps of  surface refinishing.
