My Background

After growing up in the Chicago’s northwest suburbs I went on to further my education at Wyoming Technical Institute (WyoTech) and graduated in 2004 with a perfect attendance and a diploma in Collision/Refinishing Technology with Specitality Auto Fabrication courses consisting of 2000 hours of lab and theory.

From Wyoming I moved to Orange County, CA where I worked in the custom automotive industry until the opportunity to shift into the sheet metal industry. In July 2008 I began my journey as as union sheet metal apprentice in Local 105. I was able to utilize my prior education and welding skills to fit into more of a finish architectural sheet metal worker. In 2011 I transfered my apprenticeship from local 105(LA/Orange County) to Local 66(Seattle). After finishing my apprenticeship I graduated on to be a journeyman sheet metal worker in 2014.
