I am the welding teacher at JELCC. I have been welding for 22 years. I have welded everything from fuel nozzles for massive generators to training facilities, and targets for the military. When working with students I enjoy seeing that light turn on when they make a great weld. Outside of school, I enjoy coaching softball, be outdoors, and spending time with my wife and kids.
I am the JELCC welding teacher at Hamilton Southeastern High School. I live on a farm near Pendleton. I attended Purdue University where I earned 2 degrees. I am married and have two grown sons. My wife is a math teacher and teaches at Hamilton Southeastern. I enjoy outdoor activities and working on antique tractors with my father and sons.
