Meet Kelly
and Chris,
two plumbers in Pennsylvania that embody today's changing workforce and the new ways in which trades stay connected.
Kelly says that Chris doesn't see her as a competitor but as his equal; they lift each other up. During past projects it has been frowned upon to take pictures on the job, but when working with Chris, Kelly has always been encouraged to share and show off her work.
"Chris is like a brother to me. He's been so supportive and encouraging of my skills which has really helped boost my confidence. He doesn't see me as a competitor but as his equal and we lift each other up. At the end of the day, we love what we do, we work hard and have a blast." - Kelly
"I've worked on a ton of projects through the years where it was frowned upon to take pictures on the job because as plumbers we should just keep our heads down and blend into the background. That pushback definitely wore on me but Chris has smashed that narrative and since day one of tagging along with him on jobs, he's snapped pics and encouraged me to share my work. He believes there's no reason to not let people see what I'm doing." - Kelly
