I began my career in fabrication in '89 at the age of 18 upon enlistment in the USAF. Aircraft Metals Technology was my field of choice. Major courses of instruction centered around the welding, machining and heat treatment of all things aircraft. We specialized in exotic metals and alloys such as titanium, aluminum, magnesium, inconel, as well as carbon and stainless steels.

Over the years I continued to learn and grow, eventually starting my own commercial mechanical fabrication business. In '07 I made the leap to CNC with the purchase of a Torchmate 3 finished machine. A decision that later impacted my life in ways I could never have imagined.

Through much practice I developed my own methods enabling me to draw anything I desire in Torchmate CAD.
