About Me

With over 20 years of hands-on experience in the welding and metal fabrication industry, I’ve built my career from the ground up — starting in high-precision industrial piping, transitioning through structural steel welding, and mastering the complex demands of pressure vessel fabrication. Each phase sharpened my skills and broadened my understanding of the metalworking trade. In the past five years, I’ve shifted my focus toward serving my local community, offering custom welding and mobile metal fabrication services designed to meet the unique needs of homeowners, small businesses, auto enthusiasts, and local industries. From TIG welding stainless steel and aluminum to fabricating structural supports, custom gates, and exhaust systems, my mission is simple: deliver top-quality craftsmanship with honesty, precision, and reliability. As the owner and operator of First Place Fabrication, I take pride in providing 24-hour emergency mobile welding, fast turnaround times, and personalized service that larger shops can’t match. Whether you need a quick weld repair, a full custom fabrication project, or a trusted expert for industrial work, I’m here to help — with the skill, tools, and experience to get the job done right.
