Two Markets, One Standard of Quality

After training as a Certified Business Administrator (IHK), I chose a hands-on path into the welding trade — training through SLV Wilhelmshaven and SLV Hannover, two of Germany's leading welding institutes.

That path took me from Welding Practitioner to Welding Specialist, International Welding Inspector, and Welding Master Craftsman across MAG, TIG, and MMA processes, alongside certifications in visual, dye penetrant, magnetic particle, and radiographic testing — plus an IHK trainer qualification to pass that knowledge on.

Based between Germany and Canada, I bring that combination of practical welding skill and inspection rigor to fabrication shops, engineering firms, and industrial clients on both sides of the Atlantic.

As a dual German and Canadian citizen, I hold full working rights in both countries, allowing me to work in Germany, Canada, or elsewhere without a visa, work permit, or any further formalities.
