June 2014 to Present:
CWI, UT lv. II, MT lv. II for Santa Monica Community College:
I am currently working a DSA project in Lubbock Texas. This position requires
strict adherence to multiple codes, complete coverage of fabrication, and 100%
UT of full penetration welds. I have successfully identified numerous defects
throughout the duration thus far, provided concise and fully descriptive reports
of my activities, and coordinated with the supplier and clients. This job has
required extreme diplomacy as some supervisors and managers are known to be
curt and even aggressive. Though the unprofessional nature of the supplier is
daunting, I have maintained absolutely respectful communication and
cooperation when identifying problem areas.

June 2014 to Present:
CWI; MT lv. II for Garney Construction Lubbock TX
Garney Construction is currently installing a new city water pipe system. I was
contacted for this position due to my previous experience with similar systems
and my MT lv. II certification. This project requires I climb around 36"+ diameter
pipe encased in concrete to perform VT and MT on full 360 seal welds at stress-
sensitive joints and directional changes (e.g. 45 deg. and 90 deg. turns). I have
effectively communicated my time limitations and coordinated with the
contractors to minimize delays. These inspections are provided exclusively
during the late evening hours so not to compromise my primary contract.

June 2014:
CWI, Autozone New Construction:
Autozone built a new addition to a local store in my area. This involved trusses,
J Braces, and roofing. Upon arrival I noted such a level of defect that I
immediately addressed the contractor. I provided pictures, a description of the
flawed areas, and the aspects of the code applicable to the issues. I arranged for
a return visit at their convenience. Upon return I was met with further non-
compliance and vitriolic rebukes from the foreman and welding contractors. I
addressed them in a very calm manner, provided a brief analysis of the defects
present, and left the job site. I informed the client to the events of the day and
providing accurate documentation with photographic evidence of my evaluation.

June 2014:
CWI; New Police Facility Sweetwater Tx
A new construction project required inspection of stud welds. I arrived and
performed 15 degree bend tests in the presence of the welders and foreman.
Due to multiple failures, I opted to test each stud. This proved to be a most
effective method and the problem areas were readily identified. After repairs
were performed I again tested these studs to ensure compliance and quality.

May 2014:
CWI; UT lv II for new construction at Hendricks Hospital
I was contacted about full penetration welds on a new construction project at the
hospital in Abilene TX. I coordinated with the foreman and welders to check
these sensitive welds and identify problem areas. The repairs were performed in
a timely and efficient manner and the project completed with friendly
cooperation.

October 2013 to June 2014:
CWI, UT lv. II, MT lv. II for A&M New Stadium Project:
My proximity and familiarity with the supplier provided me great advantage in
securing this position. The pieces required and received 100% VT and UT with
minimum 10% MT, modified as required. I coordinated with multiple inspectors
at other suppliers in Texas and Nebraska for this project. Difficulties ensued
when revisions began to mount in the 100s, some pieces receiving as many as 6
revisions post production. I cooperated and communicated effectively with the
supplier to ensure proper fabrication and verify the proper revisions were
implemented. I also monitored coatings and provided coating inspection
throughout the project.

September 2013:
In & Out Burger Austin TX, Airport BLVD:
A former client requested I provide a one-day inspection for the construction of
a new sign with the In&Out Burger restaurant. Prior to arrival I provided requests
for all necessary documentation including Welding Procedures, Welder
Certification Records, Welding Machine Calibration, Material Test Reports,
Electrode Use and Storage, and Approved Drawings. Unfortunately, I was not
provided these requested materials. The project could not be approved as
performed and I provided extensive reports as well as carefully worded potential
solutions to the insufficient documentation. The client was fully satisfied with
my intense scrutiny of the situation and the contractor appreciated my
forthcoming, affable yet firm communication.

September 2013:
Concho River, San Angelo, New Water Pipe Project:
A colleague requested I visit an ongoing construction project in San Angelo as I
was often there during my visits to the fabricator on the Las Bambas Project. The
city was installing a new pipe system which required welds at certain stress-
sensitive joints. I was able to effectively coordinate my time and provide the
services they required without compromising deadlines on either project. This
involved weld inspections both inside and outside the pipe. I identified defects,
monitored repairs, and verified compliance with the AWS D1.1 Table 6.1
requirements.

February 2013 to October 2013:
CWI, Visual Inspection tasks for Las Bambas Mine:
I established my base of operations in Abilene TX and covered a total of 6 shops
in 3 cities. This job required me to travel to Midland TX and San Angelo TX
regularly throughout the week to maintain coverage of fabrication and
completion on the project, averaging about 2500 miles weekly. I monitored
production, verified compliance with the AWS D1.1 M 2010 code, provided
photographs and extensive documentation of defects and repairs, and verified
coatings for the duration of the contract. I connected with multiple departments
and managers to establish a comprehensive and effective chain of
communication, this provided accurate tracking of pieces and repairs.

December 2012 to February 2013:
Consultant, ASME Audit, Cameron Corpus Christi. For this position I was
required to establish a fully functional QC Program for a pressure vessel facility
in Corpus Christi. This included authoring and modifying the existing QC
Manual, providing training to the employees designated as QC and QC manager,
providing material documentation and marking systems, and guiding the
company through the ASME audit. The company passed with flying colors and I
received a highly complementary letter from the client and contract holder.

August 2012 to December 2012:
QA on the 49ERS New Stadium as a CWI/UT technician. I began this position in
Midland Texas. My job required me to perform Certified Weld Inspections and
UT on complete pieces in a large production shop. I must maintain records of all
pieces an inspections and submit reports daily on my activities and progress.

May 2012 to August 2012:
CWI, UT lv. II Cody Builders Supply:
Prior to my position in Midland I was QC for Cody Builders Supply in Austin
Texas. I was required to perform Certified Weld Inspections and UT on complete
and in-progress pieces. I re-implemented and maintained an effective safety
and training program for all production and office staff. I produced certified WPS
and certified welders. During this time period I was open and forthcoming about
what direction I intended for my new career as a CWI. I provided accurate
timelines for my departure and properly trained the QC and production staff
prior to my planned departure in August.

Previous Employment:

From December 2011 to May 2012 I spent my time building
motorcycles and steel sculptures to supplement my income
while preparing for my CWI exam. I recently custom made a
trike from a '90 Harley Sportster and '68 Servicar rear end
for an individual who is paralyzed from the waist down.

From May of 2009 to May of 2011 I attended Austin Community
College pursuing my Associates Degree in Welding Technology.
The time I spent at Austin Community College provided me
with an incredible understanding of all metal welding,
cutting, design and inspection procedures. I have over a
year and a half of training and experience using shear wave
ultrasound and visual inspection.

During my time in school I produced custom furniture, spiral
staircases, doors, patios, and other structural weldments
predominantly for home remodeling. I had to produce to an
excruciating standard of perfection as often these products
would be the centerpiece of a home. I was required to
communicate with multiple General Contractors and all other
workers on projects to effectively coordinate all required
operations when remodeling homes. This work funded my
education needs from 2009 through 2011 while achieving my
Associates Degree.

I worked for ACME Brick from 2007-2009 fabricating steel
assemblies for maintenance and repair applications as well
as repairing multiple hydraulic and conveyance systems.
This required fast, on the spot decision making as well as
communication with all levels of management in every
department throughout the plant, from the Plant Manager to
the temps and janitorial staff.

For 6 months in 2007 I worked for M7 Aerospace as a temp in
the shipping and data department. I maintained precise
records of all parts and repairs in accordance with FAA
standards. I also produced parts requests and retrieved
parts as needed. This job required communications with all
levels of management and multiple departments throughout the
company as well as interaction with hundreds of fly-by-night
contract mechanics.

Prior to 2007 I worked through temp agencies in many
different positions, providing me with an adaptive nature
and strong eclectic knowledge from diverse companies.

In 2004 I was employed with Vintage Air, famous for their
custom air conditioning products for classic Detroit Muscle.
Working with the R&D department, I produced a myriad of
parts and systems for a great variety of incredible classic
vehicles such as a '59 El Camino, '67 Firebird, '38 Chevy 2-
Door Coupe, and the new Ford GT(40). I was required to
coordinate through all departments and communicate progress
and challenges to supervisors and the company owner.

I am highly motivated, reliable and intelligent. I am meticulous but also keenly
aware of proper time management.

I am adaptive and will swiftly learn any skill or procedure. I will gladly pursue
further certifications if required by the position offered.

My father often says "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" and I
approach all tasks with that mindset.

With my communication skills I can professionally and effectively interact with all
fellow employees, managers, contractors, owners, operators, engineers, and
anyone involved with a project.

I am able and willing to travel. I have a motorhome for long term relocation.

Personal Information:
I am married to a fantastic young woman who offers unconditional support. We
are expecting our first child in January or February of 2015. My wife is currently
pursuing her education in investigative journalism.

In my spare time I pursue self-education in multiple fields related to welding and
welding inspection. I have read extensively on subsea catenary risers, pressure
vessels, API and ASME codes and interpretations, free lectures on various
engineering fields (e.g. chemical, mechanical), and new technology in the
welding and inspection fields.

My wife and I are both avid readers. We gravitate towards books on physics,
biology, and philosophy. Occasionally we have opportunities to meet these great
authors and scientists. This past April, as a late honeymoon trip, we sat down
with Richard Dawkins in Austin Texas for a dinner event. The man was so much
more than we anticipated. Beyond his scientific contributions, Dr. Dawkins is
benevolent, affable, and charming. He was kind enough to sign his children's
science book to our anticipated child with a quote from Louis MacNeice; "I am
not yet born, oh hear me."

Music has been a constant in my life. I play both the guitar and piano (poorly).
On rare occasion I will play live events with friends.
