Luis Barbales, journeymen 4 years Barbales used to be a professional soccer player in Honduras. He tried coaching in this country, but decided to become an ironworker. He’s trying to get his welding certificate. I’ve worked as a connector but would like to become a welder. I’ve finished 3 plates and have one more to go. I like the challenge of learning things.
