Meet Joe Slattery
Joe Slattery is professional welder and metalworker. Originally from Arizona, Joe has called Central Oregon home for decades. He cut his welding teeth with Lockheed, eventually running their training and induction program for new welders. Joe has worked on everything metal under the sun, and his metal shop is a showcase of technology and useful equipment. Underneath that welders exterior though beats the heart of a true education. Joe is patient and a great communicator, and has been able to help everyone from teenagers to crusty old ranch hands build welding skills. We're very lucky to have Joe on our team, and are sure you will enjoy his workshops.
