My Journey
After 25 years of Facilities Operations Management, process pipe welding, troubleshooting and performing mechanical repairs in primarily the Food & Pharmaceutical Industries, amongst others, I decided to make the jump into business owner/operator and pursue my passion. I started my welding career during my time as a Certified Master Automotive Technician working for various Ford, Lincoln, Mercury Dealerships and private shops in and around Boston. I extended my welding knowledge as a Precision Sheet Metal Fabricator at The Gillette Company, World Headquarters, South Boston. I decided to enroll in a Certified Welder Course at Wentworth Institute in Boston. I successfully completed the course with welding certifications in GTAW, GMAW and SMAW, all positions, flat and pipe. While attending Wentworth, I developed a patent pending pipe welding fixture which not only greatly improves the welders ability to weld pipe, but pass the pipe welding tests with ease. I’ve decided that I am better built to serve people by providing the use of my hands and skill sets as a welder, fabricator, mechanic. This is where I am happiest and am “in the flow”. I learned the hard way that sitting in a chair and pounding a keyboard are not only unhealthy, but exhaust me, both physically and mentally. I have been slowly building up my shop, equipment inventory and skill sets to offer top notch welding at very reasonable rates with personable service in a timely manner with a focus on getting your job back up and running or completed on time and on budget. I aim to serve Ocala and surrounding communities with pride and quality American craftsmanship.
