My name is John Oswald, and I have been in the welding industry for ten years, doing everything from pipe welding to custom fabrication work . I worked in a small shop during high school and completed the welding course at Lexington technology center. After that, I moved forward in my career and obtained several AWS certifications. I am looking forward to this career change and would love to help the younger generation learn the necessary skills to obtain a job in the welding industry.
