Rob Anderson

Clint and his brother Rob graduated from Springfield in 1989 and 1992 respectively. Clint and Rob’s father, Rick Anderson, started Anderson Welding in 1967. As with many family owned businesses, both Clint and Rob started working a few hours over the summer at a young age. Most of this work involved cleaning around the shop and helping on small installation projects. Clint Anderson went on to Eastern Montgomery County Technical School to study welding. During Clint’s education and career, he earned several structural welding certifications including one of the most challenging, 6G pipe. 6G pipe welds are one of the most challenging welds because the pipe is 45 degrees and immovable, which requires the welder to move their body around in several positions and also requires the ability to weld right and left handed. Rob Anderson realized his passion for decorative metals a few years after graduating from Springfield. Rob’s first few years were spent digesting as much basic welding information as possible and at the same time, buying every book, VHS tape, and magazine about the traditional blacksmithing process. Clint and Rob took over the family business in 2006 when their father Rick retired. Incorporating modern techniques and old world knowledge has made Anderson Ironworks a nationally recognized company. They have been awarded two awards in National Metalwork Competitions. The Anderson brothers' work can be seen all over the east coast. If you have been to an Iron Hill Brewery, chances are you’ve seen their work. Today, both of the Anderson brothers spend as much time as possible completing jobs to keep them from sitting behind their desks.
