Owner

David J Gilkeson


Precision Welding was born out of the desire to take ordinary things and make them faster, better and stronger. Precision Welding’s founder, David J Gilkeson, was born during the golden era of Santa Barbara and naturally gravitated toward the burgeoning hot rod culture that was so prominent back in those wondrous years. Frustrated with the sparse availability and high expense of welding shops to modify his hot rods, the obvious option was to start his own company; he set up shop in his grandmother’s garage. David’s love of the craft fostered the growth of a business that became something more than a hobby. It became apparent that his aptitude and knowledge were sought after in the aircraft industry, residential and commercial construction, bicycle fabrication and prototype ingenuity. Being versatile, knowledgeable, and reliable were the foundation and ethos with which Precision Welding has become one of the premier fabrication shops in the Tri Counties. Precision Welding utilizes superior equipment and highly trained professionals to ensure that they meet and exceed the unique welding and fabrication needs of each and every customer.

Estimator/Project Manager

Brian Rochlitzer


A Santa Barbara native who grew up in his father’s steel fabrication shop building race cars and developing steel fabricated products, Brian brings an attention to detail and the ability to think outside of the box that can facilitate any project from start to finish. A long long time ago in 1997 he began working at Precision Welding. When he isn’t busy with all of his Precision Welding responsibilities, he is spending time with his family either at the beach or riding motorcycles.
