Mr. Grover helped found I-CAR in 1979 and SLCC has been the mainstay and provider of I-CAR training since its inception.

Mr. Grover has worked as an organizer, recruiter, promoter, welding qualification test administrator and instructor. Since 1958, Mr. Grover has been involved with the College, either as a student, Program Advisory Committee board member or instructor.
