Your Instructor
My name’s Mark Bellinger, I’m a 3rd generation welder. I’ve been welding/fabricating
for the past 15 years. My passion for welding started when I was a child, with one
of my earliest memories being with my father putting sparklers in the electrode holder
for our stick welder to let me pretend I was welding. Since then my passion has only
grown. Welding is an art form that can always be improved on, and I thrive on chasing
that perfection. I am qualified through AWS in SMAW, GMAW, and GTAW under AWS D1.1,
D1.2, D1.3, & D1.6 codes. My next goals are to obtain my CWI (Certified Welding Inspector)
& CWE (Certified Welding Educator) licenses. I thoroughly enjoy transferring my knowledge
to those with the willingness to learn, and watching them grow. I care about creating
well rounded welders for the next generation to be built upon. Some of my hobbies
include restoring classic vehicles, building mega trucks, and racing my dirt bike
when I find the time.
