Joey K

Started welding at a fabrication shop in 2002 in Wy. After 18 years in the industry (2020) he sought out a welding instructor position and landed at Lynnes. “I absolutely have the greatest job in the world. I get to watch students grow in their welding career and feed them all the knowledge I have learned over the past 20 years.”

MIKE

 Grew up on a Farm/ranch and at a young age (14) started working in a fabrication shop. As time progressed they started to teach me welding little by little. After High School, traditional schooling didn’t feel like the right option: so he jumped into the welding industry. Prior to coming to work with LWT, Mike owned his own business called MSM Welding and Home Improvements where I did welding and Carpentry.

JOEY M

Started his welding career by completing a 2-year welding program at a technical college.  In 2017 I was hired to instruct part time at the technical college I attended while still working full-time in medical and aerospace. This lead me to pursue a full-time teaching position with Lynnes welding Training in 2021.
