Man in welding gear

Meet Benjamin Griffin, a 2022 alumnus from Marquette, Michigan. Benjamin currently resides in Kingsford, Mi. where he is MIG Welder.

I’m a MIG welder at Loadmaster in Norway MI.

Being at Northern Michigan University taught me many things about the welding field. But my instructors and my peers helped me to be the person I am today.

The best advice I would give to current students is that don’t be afraid to ask questions and ask for help from your instructors and peers. And to practice your craft. 

When I’m not at work, I’m always practicing my welding skills with my welder at my house in Marquette.
