I started working in manufacturing at age 21, my first position was a janitor, I did that for a year than moved into facilities maintenance, I did that for about 2 years than applied for a weld technician, during that time I had no robotics experience and was newly into machine repair and troubleshooting. The company sent me to my first robotics class which was ABB Robotics material handling I went on to another class ABB programming than Fanuc School the rest is history.
