Last but definitely not least of The Arc-Zone Pro Partnership, is our very own Joanie Butler! A little over three years ago, Joanie’s adventure with Arc-Zone began. She has proved to be a Jill of all trades who assists our Customer Care, Marketing, and Purchasing Teams; she creates metal art as a hobby, and even single-handedly designed and built a one-of-a-kind sign for Arc-Zone’s Ultimate Showroom.

She’s an inspiration to female fabricators everywhere and was recently hand-selected by the AWS to serve on a National Committee to create a Program for the Girl Scouts of America. Without further ado, Arc-Zone proudly presents to you, Joanie Butler!

The time has come for us to introduce to you the eldest of the Mishler Brothers, Nick Mishler, AKA @mishler_made_fab on Instagram. He’s an amazingly creative guy and he’s got the skills to match. We are proud to call Nick the fourth member of the Arc-Zone Pro Partnership! 

Nick may not admit it, but his imagination and follow through are literally off the hook! He’s a down to earth gentleman that only wants to drive our industry forward while showcasing his steps along the way. If you’ve been following the Arc-Zone Pro Partners, you’ll see some major resemblance to our very first Pro Partner, Wes Mishler. Yes, they are twins. Who could possibly resist the ultimate Tag Team of Professionalism?  I know we couldn’t…

Thomas Patsis, AKA @coldhardart on Instagram, is the third member to join the Arc-Zone Pro Partnership. Thomas has not just one, but two pretty awesome jobs. In the day time, he works at Don Schumacher Racing (DSR) building 320 mph race cars that remain intact while 10,000 hp pumps through them!

Then at night time (and on the weekends), he works for his own company – Cold Hard Art, making truly amazing metal art. As you can imagine, this man does not get much sleep! With out further ado, we present to you…. Cold Hard Art.

Jason Moser, AKA @Jalumo_1973 on Instagram, was officially the second member to join the Arc-Zone Pro Partnership. Jason specializes in heavy fabrication and repair of road construction equipment and has been in the industry for roughly 20 years. Some might say he is the epitome of the professional welder… He works for the man, is as humble as they come, and takes much pride in what he does and loves. One thing you wouldn’t know about Jason from his Instagram pics is that he has a heavy, southern accent… It’s always a treat to get him on the phone and hear him talk ;)

Before we get into the Q & A with Wes Mishler, AKA @wicked_welding on Instagram, we first want to tell you a little bit about how we came to know him…. We actually met Wes quite recently, sometime in early March, 2014, but since then, a whole lot has changed… At the time, we were in the process of officially launching the “Arc-Zone Pro Partnership”, which is a network of master fabricators and industry professionals who are committed to quality craftsmanship – but in its purest form, a way to celebrate the industry and our fellow tradesmen who are in it!

That being said, after lots of research and discussion, Wes was selected to be our very first Pro Partner, and boy were we lucky to have him! We didn’t know it at the time, but this professional partnership amongst a business and a fabricator, turned into a true friendship overtime.
