EP 101: Tackling The Elements with Kevin Simmons

In this week's episode, Beau sits down with Kevin Simmons aka @iweldrup about his journey into the world of heavy equipment repair, fieldwork and working in the nuclear sector. Kevin talks about how he got his start as a grinder but moved into welding after he got tired of having to wait on people to weld parts for him. He goes into how his side work doing repairs turned into full-time, some experiences he has had like relocating a stubborn porcupine out in the field, and getting pulled back into the nuclear world to help build a new reactor prototype.
