SUNY JCC Student Follows Family Footsteps Into Welding
In a lot of ways, welding is in Jacob Elliott’s genes.
His grandfather, Bob Elliott, was a welder for a long time at Dresser-Rand in Olean and still teaches the craft to students at SUNY Jamestown Community College. Elliott’s father also welded.
"My grandpa always had stuff lying around the house,” Elliott said. “I was always questioning what it was. The idea of welding kind of intrigued me. So I went and I took it at BOCES for my junior and senior year, and then it brought me here.”
