Forged by Valor is a vision soon to become reality. This fall, we're launching a unique program designed to empower veterans through the art and skill of welding.

He's creating Forged by Valor to provide a supportive and transformative space.
What Forged by Valor Will Offer:
- Comprehensive Welding Training: We're developing a robust welding training program that will equip veterans with in-demand skills, opening doors to new career paths.
- A Therapeutic and Purposeful Outlet: We recognize the therapeutic benefits of working with metal. The focus and tangible results of welding can be incredibly empowering.
