Welding for the Hobbyist
Clay Emler has lived in Fairmont all of his life working in Manufacturing
for over 22 years. Over those years holding different positions
as a metal fabricator, machinist and welder to name a few. I
coached high school football for Granada and Fairmont for 9 years.
I like spending my free time with family, making projects, fishing
and playing cards. I really like to see people succeed and I want to watch my community
grow.
