38: Ep. 38: José Reyes - Investing in the Trades of Tomorrow
Update: 2025-12-03
Description
In this episode, Bryzos COO Lee Letourneau sits down with José Reyes, owner of Texas Arc Welding Academy and Texas Arc Welding Supply. José shares how welding offered him a new path when many around him were heading straight into construction. A high school counselor introduced him to the trade and connected him with a welder who helped launch his career. From there, he built a strong foundation in pipe welding and worked across multiple companies and job sites.
José explains how the passion of his own instructor inspired him to give back to the next generation. About a year ago, he opened Texas Arc Welding Academy to train new welders, followed by Texas Arc Welding Supply to bring equipment, PPE, and specialty products directly to the community.
He and Lee also talk about technology, time savings, and why innovation matters in the metals industry. José believes anything that saves time is worth the cost because time is the one thing you can never get back. That mindset is what brings him to FABTECH every year to see the tools and ideas that push the trade forward.
Thank you, Mr. Reyes!
