Congratulations to Cam White!!

Traveling all the way from Michigan to attend Georgia Trade School, Cam is excelling in his training program, and displaying an incredible work ethic - he has already obtained 2 professional welding jobs which he works at in the mornings before school and on the weekends (and he doesn't graduate until July!). Cam is already an exceptional welder, with an exceptional drive and work ethic. Cam donated his time and skills to complete several projects for GTS and charities, including repairing a smoker utilized for Wounded Warrior Project cookouts. He's already a certified GTAW welder, and is well on his way to tremendous success!
