Meet The Owners Trystan & Tony

Growing up farming, I was surrounded by heavy equipment, machinery repair, and welding from an early age. Being exposed to the day-to-day challenges of equipment maintenance sparked my interest in fabrication and taught me the value of quality workmanship and reliable repairs. During high school, I further developed my skills through welding and metal fabrication courses, gaining hands-on experience working with a variety of materials and fabrication techniques. After graduation, I attended Triangle Tech alongside Tony, where we both earned Associate Degrees in Welding Technology and continued building the technical knowledge that would shape our careers. Following graduation, Tony and I secured employment with a federal contractor, where we worked on the fabrication and assembly of chillers for U.S. Navy ships, submarines, and aircraft carriers. The experience provided us with valuable industry knowledge, high-quality fabrication standards, and a strong foundation in precision manufacturing. While working together, we recognized an opportunity to combine our skills, experience, and passion for the trade by founding T.N.T. Welding and Fabrication, LLC. Today, we specialize in heavy equipment repair, custom metal fabrication, and welding solutions, providing dependable craftsmanship and quality service for every customer and project we take on.

My welding journey began in high school when I enrolled in tech through the highschool school to learn the trade. While still in school, I gained hands-on experience working on a farm, and around heavy equipment where I performed small welding repairs and fabrication projects. Those early opportunities helped me develop both my skills and passion for welding. After graduating high school, I attended Triangle tech to further my education and earn an associate degree in welding technology. Following graduation, I secured a position with a federal contractor, where I continued to expand my knowledge and experience in the welding and fabrication industry. After spending two years building my skills and professional experience, I took the next step toward achieving my goals by partnering with Trystan to start T.N.T. Welding and Fabrication, LLC. Today, our company is built on a foundation of hard work, quality craftsmanship, and a passion for providing reliable welding and fabrication services to our customers.
