AAS in Welding Technology: Graduated 2017

“My dad raised me. He owns a construction company. I’ve been working since I was 15. I went to school

• riginally to be a game warden – I was working

toward a bachelor’s at the UNM. Then I decided to explore trade schools and I really enjoyed it. I knew the welding program at the SFCC was in its infancy, but I decided it was something I wanted to do.”
