Patriot Mobile Welding was built on craftsmanship, discipline, and a pride in workmanship that comes from years of service. Austin Hochstatter, an ex-Navy MP, brought his leadership and meticulous attention to detail from the military into the shop. After leaving the service, Austin trained and refined his welding skills until he became a highly skilled fabricator known for clean, strong welds and dependable solutions. His commitment to precision and accountability shapes every project we undertake.

Drew Skaggs, an ex–Coast Guardsman, spent his career preserving and repairing the metalwork that keeps vessels seaworthy. That hands-on experience with corrosion control, structural repairs, and marine-grade materials gives Drew a practical, problem-solving approach that’s invaluable for tough jobs on land or sea. Together, Austin and Drew combine military-grade discipline with a long history of metalworking know-how to deliver durable, reliable welding and fabrication for clients who expect the best.
