I logging, and land excavation.I have worked for AAON Coil Productions Prior to AAON I took on the role of teaching and found it fulfilling for the last 7 years in many ways. Working with ninth through twelfth graders, even working with adults in a free DIY class in my after school hours. I have enjoyed passing on what I have learned to those truly interested in welding. Through lessons in the classroom and firsthand experience. Being an Advisor in SkillsUSA to being AWS certified in D1.1 and D9.1 has kept the students interested in expanding their skill.
