Kendall B. Polster
After graduating from the University of Georgia in 1990 with majors in zoology and microbiology, I worked as a research biologist for 3 years at the Blood Center of Southeastern Wisconsin. I started welding furniture and sculpture for a hobby then. My brother Craig, who was a certified welder taught me how to weld. I started medical school and eventually took a leave of absence in 1994 to pursue my art full time and start WELD GUY !
