I would have to say he is the best welder in the business, and its because he is doing what he has always liked to do. I make a lot of my income doing what he taught me as a teenager 35 years ago. In todays world all the people I knew growing up that do what they enjoyed doing are all successful. I only wish I had found my grove in life 40 odd years ago. When I was helping Augie he was just starting out, and was working a full time job 5 days a week and getting his ducks lined up for his own future working for himself. Some people told me make sure he pays u. He Always did. And I was smart enough to know the education I was getting was priceless. Thank you Augie. J.W.Carneiro
