Tanya Peddy enlisted in the U.S. Army and traveled the world before finding a second career in the trades. She's a welder, a pipe fitter, and now a licensed plumber working for Brandt Mechanical. In her words, the best part of her job is that she gets to, "make shit with fire." A woman's attention to detail can provide a much needed advantage as a welder. And while the Army provided discipline, she found that the construction industry was nowhere near as strict.
