I’m the proud owner of Weldguru.com, a publication that reaches over 2 million eager learners from around the globe every year. I’ve poured my passion for welding into each article, tutorial, and resource you’ll find on that platform.
My Teaching Philosophy
What sets me apart as an instructor is my philosophy that understanding the ‘why’ behind each welding process is just as crucial as mastering the ‘how.’
I balance theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience, ensuring that my students know how to execute a weld and understand the metallurgy and physics behind it.
This holistic approach empowers them to troubleshoot issues on their own and adapt to different welding scenarios.
My Impact
My goal is simple but impactful: to inspire and educate the current and next generation of welders.
The online platform allows me to extend my reach far beyond a traditional classroom, helping more people than ever to light their torches and forge their futures.
