Nick ConklinWelding TeacherHi my name is Nick Conklin and I’m the Welding teacher here at CTE. I have been working here for 4 years but I have 23 years of experience in the Welding field. I went to Delhi Tech and prior to working here I held many jobs. These include Welder Fabricator, Iron Worker, Pipe Welder, Welding specialist for a gas supply company, and I owned my own business. I was drawn to this field because I really enjoy working with my hands, fabricating and creating things. The best part of my program is that students will learn how to do fabricating. The responsibility of starting something, finishing it and not giving up on something just because it is hard is very rewarding. Welding is very difficult to learn and fabricating is even harder. It takes patience, perseverance, and foresight. In my free time I love to enjoy the outdoors, welding and spending time with my family.
