Accomplishments

worked at Eagle Companies for 21 years . Started out as a painter, than learned how to weld by practicing at lunch everyday until I mastered the skill. Become a welder / fabricator. Then I got trained on the machinery, a break press, a shear and a lot of other machines, to many to list. Moved my way up to general Forman for the last 8 years of my employment there. The work got slow for 2 years with layoffs every year , so I left for a more stable job.
