ABOUT ME:
I started working as a Journey-level welder for Weyerheauser Timber Company more than 20 years ago. That was the same year that I became a certified welder in Washington State. I weld today because it's cool & interesting! If you can DREAM it, you can probably WELD it! About my REASONS for My Website: I'd been wanting to write a book about welding for years. Recently I purchased a few "ebooks" on the subject. At first, I thought that maybe there is already more than enough information out there. Upon reading further into these books, I noticed that there was FAR TOO MUCH DATA but NOT ENOUGH USABLE INFORMATION! * In one book, it was page 150 before they even talked about "striking an arc!" * There were too many tables and graphs. * There were also too many drawings & photos of every conceivable weld joint. * Many illustrations were too dark to see details. * Plus, even I was confused while trying to figure out what they meant when trying to describe a "trick of the trade" or a process! * How is the average beginning welder going to grasp this stuff? * THAT'S when I knew that I DID want to start this website & share The whole story of arc welding without the dry data! About my goal: To simply share understandable & useful welding information. And to influence you to be safe & do your best job. And finally, to tell ALL about arc welding, and going "Beyond the Arc". About me and my family: I'm the "baby brother" to 4 brothers & 2 sisters. I'm married with 2 daughters & 2 toddler grandsons. I'm a hunter, I like to draw things, I love softball, & I tinker with electronic gadgets. And YES, I WELD! What I've learned from doing this website: "Setting goals is great! Doing something about them NOW is even GREATER!"
