What a week it's been.
From fabricating barges in the Port of Los Angeles, to repairing handrails for the Coast Guard, repairing aluminum rolling brackets for a floating gas station, and fixing a 6-inch gathering line out in the oil field — it's been one project after another.

And honestly, I couldn't be more grateful for every minute of it.
There have been plenty of times over the last few years when I could have thrown in the towel. Times when I could have given up on myself, my company, and my dreams. But quitting has never really been an option.

The people who believe in me, trust me, and give me opportunities deserve 120% of my effort in return. That's how I was raised, and that's how I'll continue to operate.

What I've learned over the years is that business isn't really about jobs, contracts, or invoices. It's about relationships. Some of my best professional relationships have turned into lifelong friendships because they're built on communication, honesty, hard work, and a shared desire to turn ideas into reality.
So if you're looking for a fresh set of eyes on a project, a contractor who will give you a fair number and keep things competitive, or simply someone willing to help solve a problem, give me a call.

I averaged about 15-hour days this week, and the funny thing is, I don't feel like I worked a minute.
When you're building something you believe in, surrounded by good people, it doesn't feel like work.

To anyone out there having a tough week, keep going.
If you feel like quitting, don't.
Your breakthrough might be closer than you think.

As C&S Welding continues to grow, we're looking to add talented welders, fitters, mechanics, and craftspeople to our team.

The maritime and construction industries have traditionally been male-dominated, but some of the best professionals I've worked with throughout my career have come from all backgrounds. Skilled female welders and young adults right out of school, are absolutely welcome and encouraged to apply.

At the end of the day, we're looking for people who show up, work hard, Solve Problems, and take pride in their craft.

Our projects range from ship repair, structural steel, oilfield, industrial maintenance to custom fabrication and emergency response work throughout California and beyond.

If you're a welder looking for opportunities, or if you know someone who is, send me a message.

Let's continue building a team based on skill, professionalism, attitude, and craftsmanship.

Yesterday started with another last-minute phone call to help one of our customers maintain production and hit their project deadlines — followed by a Saturday emergency aluminum gangway repair.
You know, over the years I’ve realized something… when that phone rings at the last minute, it’s not just about helping the customer. It’s helping me put food on the table too. And lately, I’ve appreciated those calls more and more.
Building relationships with customers should be exactly that — building relationships. Something built on trust, transparency, communication, and showing up when it matters most. I want my customers to know that when emergencies happen, they can rely on us to get it handled at the drop of a dime. No excuses. Just solutions.
I still believe a good person can operate off a handshake. I still believe transparency in operations and billing matters. And I still treat every single project like it’s my own.
Most importantly, today is a reminder that none of us would even have the opportunity to be down here working in the first place without the men and women who sacrificed their lives for this country. I think a lot of us forget that sometimes.
So today, while we work, we remember. 🇺🇸

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted.
Over the past year, I lost both of my labradors — 14 years each. That kind of loss slows you down and makes you reflect. In between wrapping up projects and preparing for what’s next, I’ve been spending more time at home, recalibrating.
But I haven’t been idle.

To keep my mind sharp and my skills sharper, I’ve been assisting a friend’s construction company — staying hands-on, staying in the field, staying ready.

For those who don’t know my background:
• Superintendent & Project Manager
• Maritime & Ship Repair Experience
• Oil & Drilling Operations
• Commercial & Residential Construction
• Certified Crane Operator
• Welding Foreman / Fabricator
• Mechanical & Rigging Experience
• CDL Driver — hauled freight from the Port of Long Beach to Alaska
• Now supervising, consulting, and literally building structures from the ground up.

I’ve worked ports.
I’ve worked rigs.
I’ve worked shipyards.
I’ve driven ice roads.
I’ve led crews.
I’ve put my name on the line.

At this point in my career, I’m ready to take on bigger projects and help other firms execute at a high level — safely, efficiently, and professionally.

If you’re looking for a consultant, superintendent, or project manager who understands the field from the ground up — let’s talk.

I’m not afraid of hard work. I’m built for it.
