This week I am talking to James Bowen. James has a really interesting story about starting off in the industry as an underwater welder and transitioned into the world of welding inspection. I first got to meet James at the Arcs and Ales Event during Fabtech in Chicago this year. You see, it's all about networking. By going to all of these different events, you get to meet a lot of cool people in the welding industry. You never know who you'll meet at a welding conference or event so try to get to as many as you can.
