I began my career in 1996 in the field of Nondestructive Examination (NDE), where I quickly developed a passion for Ultrasonics. The continuous advancements in ultrasonic technology sparked a lifelong interest in learning and professional growth. In 2001, I earned my Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) credential, marking the beginning of a journey into nationally recognized certifications. I achieved my first API 510 certification in 2002 after attending a CodeWest API Prep Course, followed by API 570 through CodeWest and API 653 through self-study.
