I didn’t follow a blueprint to get here. I built my life the way I build metal — by showing up, staying sharp, and learning under fire. Welding didn’t just shape my work — it shaped my character. And now I want to share that fire.
Welding didn’t just give me a job — it gave me confidence, pride, and the kind of deep gratification that only comes from building something with your own hands. The trades challenged me. They tested me on long days, in brutal heat, on tough job sites. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Over the years, I’ve traveled the country and beyond welding in power plants, refineries, copper smelters, steel mills, and paper mills. I’ve worked with multiple launch systems and aerospace hardware, but that’s just part of the story. What matters more is what the trade gave me personally: direction, camaraderie, purpose, and a real sense of accomplishment.
Burn & Build exists to give that same spark to others.
This isn’t a school. It’s not a factory pipeline. It’s a welding studio built to serve everyone — the curious, the creative, the career-changer. Whether you're here to strike an arc for the first time or sharpen your edge before a test, this is your space.
Come to make something beautiful, to try something hard, or to find something real. Because welding doesn’t just connect metal — it connects people to themselves.
And that’s what we’re building here.
