Summary
I'm a Combination Welder & I was employed with Ingalls Shipbuilding for over 10 years. I was a Structural Welder for 1 year and a Pipe Welder for over 9 years. Welding is my passion; I love everything about it. I have experience in welding, weld bands, open butts, penetration sleeves, penetrations, hangers, tubing, bosses, flanges etc. Practicing safety & wearing proper PPE everyday was a top priority.
