Instructor: Andrew Cardin
Andrew Cardin (@thebostonweldah) first came to notoriety in 2015 for representing the United States at the WorldSkills event in Brazil, where he won a Medal of Excellence and finished 5th among a field of 38 welders from across the globe. We knew we had to get Andrew involved at WelderSkills, because we know you'd be hard pressed to find a human being with more welding knowledge and passion on Planet Earth.
