I currently teach welding. I began teaching in 2011, but I started in the trade in 1984. One of my most memorable projects was working on a powerhouse in Kansas City when the 9/11 attacks occurred. My working partner had just returned to the top of the structure from the ground and told me about the attacks. I remember looking in the sky to see where a jet had made a perfect u-turn to go back to the airport.

I started working in the pipe trades in 2002 and began teaching seven year later. I’ve worked on three different children’s medical centers, the University of North Texas Student Union, the TARO Airplane Plant in Red Oak and Ventana, where I installed a new system to large construction called VRF using Zoom Lock fittings and technology. I believe in our school and the training that we give to our students. This extra knowledge separates our level of production and quality from non-union construction workers who receive far less workforce training.
