Andrea Kalmbach (@venne_plumbing) has been a Journeyman Plumber for Venne Plumbing, a woman-owned plumbing company based out of Sherwood, OR, for over four years.

1. Tell us a bit about what you do with tools, and how you got started.
Andrea Kalmbach is a journeyman plumber at Venne Plumbing in Sherwood, OR.
I am a Journeyman Plumber. I started right out of high school in 2004. I loved Plumbing from the day I set foot on my first jobsite.
Once I learned how to use tools, on my days off, I started trying other types of projects. The confidence plumbing has given me makes me feel like I can accomplish anything.
2. What’s your favorite piece/project you created, and what’s the story behind it?

My favorite part of plumbing is residential repair. I fit into small places and can fix thing that others can’t reach.
I love meeting new people. I have so many stories with new customers.
Recently, my company has been playing around with videos for fun on YouTube.
