Hello, my name is Ray Heuermann. I started my welding career in 1991 after I completed a course in welding and a couple community classes. I then went on to have many welding jobs in my life, from starting out welding exhaust pipe for muffler shops (and various shops in-between), rigging out my truck, to working on navy ship parts. Throughout my journey I built up my certifications (which I acquired on jobs), I became certified to weld aluminum, stainless, read blueprints, and fabricate. After long and hard work, In 2013 I decided I wanted to start my own business. My nephew wanted to learn to weld, so I hired him on and taught him hands on experience with welding. Later, my daughters started showing interest in so I taught them as well. That’s when I found my passion of wanting to teach others to weld. Having 34 years of experience in the welding/fabricating industry (7 years of teaching to my community), has shown me that most of your knowledge will grow when you take action.
