I was intrigued by welding as a kid and it always fascinated me. I thought it would be something I would enjoy doing as a profession so I took a welding class in high school and after graduation I attended a trade school similar to Western Welding Academy but I didn’t get any one on one time or enough booth time, so I was basically self-taught. In the spring of 2007 I went straight into my pipe welding career. Over the last 15 years I have welded in just about every type of plant with the exception of nuclear power houses.
In my spare time I enjoy hunting, fishing, working on old trucks, and spending time with family. What I love most about teaching here at Western Welding Academy is seeing the progression with the students who have never welded before. The look on their faces when they lay a slick weld because of what I had just taught them is really gratifying.
With Western Welding Academy you learn everything you need to know to start working in the field and pass a welding test. Students get to learn from real welders from all over the nation with years of experience bringing unique perspectives & experiences from the field. That is what sets us apart from other schools.
Western Welding Academy is the only pipe welding school in the country that is solely owned and operated by real pipeline/pipe welders. At WWA we have the most elite, highest skilled welders in the world teaching students how to weld pipe.
