    Marine Corps 1989-1995. Got a job in manufacturing plant my hometown when I got out. Started in shipping and in 5 years worked my way up to welding, machine operator and then machine programmer. Water tower fabrication company in town needed a AutoCad guy. I went and talked to the owner. Said I have never used AutoCad but I am sure I could figure it out. He took a chance on me and I have been here 20 years last month.

                Welcome aboard.

                37 years of glass blowing. I bet you got some stories. No experience here, just seems like a cool profession!

                  We have had some very interesting projects come through the shop over the years. It is a challenging profession but it’s anything but cool.

                                For me I’ve been in construction since I was a youngin.

                                Born into a self employed one man plumbing repair, sewer and septic tank company. I was taught electric and electronics, sent to the university for a couple of years and decided that carpentry was where I was meant to land.

                                I’ve had residential and commercial projects under my own company and have served as a site superintendent for large projects through 20 mil across the central USA.
