My love of welding instruction at NIC has led me to a career spanning 17 years and
counting. My industry experience has been varied and rewarding, which enables me to
share a wealth of knowledge with varying levels of Welding Apprentices, Foundation
Welders and Modular Level B and A students. Some highlights of my past work experience
involved production welding and fabrication in local welding shops, shipyard repair
and new construction, as well as shipyard quality control and quality assurance, welding
and fabrication supervisory work and pipeline pressure welding and inspection.
I currently hold a BC "A" pressure welding certification along with an array of PWP
qualifications (PWP 7,8,9,10. CWB welding steel and Aluminum supervisor).
I look forward to training and preparing you for an exciting and rewarding welding
career.
