ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. As a sports enthusiast coming out of school, Dakota Wood wanted to be an athletic trainer. Oh, shoot. The anatomy aspect of it was a little much for me, Wood said.
He found himself pursuing a different career welding. She told me to pick something that sounds like fun, Wood said. I figured playing with hot steel and fire all day would be pretty fun!
Wood works at Kerr Squared, a welding shop in the South Valley.
Greyson Tagg is another welder at the shop. I went to Valencia High School and my freshman year they had a welding class and I took that, Tagg said.
