Bio

I have over 19 years of machining and welding experience in the United States Air Force. There isn’t a lathe, milling machine, welder or other piece of metal working equipment that I cannot master! I have been a shop supervisor, flight chief & squadron production supervisor at various locations throughout my career. These positions included managing/training personnel to accomplish the mission.
