Farming, welding, and 4‑H with father-son duo Matt & Maverick Graham

In this episode of Still Building America, father-son duo Matt and Maverick Graham join Darla and Josh Welton to talk about the importance of introducing kids to welding at a young age. Matt runs farm and fabrication business called Graham Industries in rural Ohio, taught his now 10-year-old son Maverick how to weld at a young age.

They talk about how Maverick learned to weld by helping Matt with projects around the farm, their participation in 4-H, and Maverick winning welding competitions at the Ohio State Fair. They also discuss why there should be more proper-fitting welding PPE for kids.
