About Us

Welder & Fabricator

James Hill, owner, is an NCCER certified welder with 20 years experience in the industry. He was born and raised in Southern Indiana and at a young age began working with his father, who was a master body and master diesel mechanic, in a trucking terminal shop. This ongoing learning and extensive hands-on experience ignited his passion for diesel and automotive work which eventually led him to welding in high school followed by welding and repair work on demolition derby cars. This is when his passion for welding exploded and he continued welding locally doing general repairs and creative metal projects. He graduated from Lincoln College of Technology for Welding and Metal Fabrication Technology and is NCCER certified. He values his training and education, along with experience, to ensure he brings the highest level of knowledge to his customers. He and Stephanie launched White Beard Welding in June 2020 and he is excited to offer his enthusiasm and determination to every job he does.
