ABOUT US
Hi, I’m Paige! Some know me as Plumber Paige, but lately, I’ve been growing into All Trades Paige as my brand and career expand beyond just one trade. I’m a tradeswoman, author, content creator, and advocate for skilled careers. What started as a high school plumbing class has grown into a mission to shift how people see the trades. Explore my timeline to see the key moments that shaped me, each one opening the door to the next. Here’s how it started… and where it’s going.
I enrolled in a plumbing and heating program at my high school in Lehigh Valley, PA. That’s where I met Coach, my instructor and one of my biggest early supporters. He taught me plumbing skills and gave me the confidence to belong in the trades. He introduced me to women in the industry who answered tough questions and showed me I had options. It wasn’t just about fixing pipes—it was about finding purpose and believing I could build a future here.
During high school, I joined SkillsUSA, where I served as my chapter’s president and became a state medalist. I also attended Let’s Build Construction Camp for Girls, which expanded my view of what’s possible in construction. Both experiences gave me leadership skills and introduced me to an even wider world of careers in the trades.
Through my school’s co-op program, I started working in residential plumbing—first doing service calls, then rough-ins during the summer when I was old enough. Getting on real job sites gave me the hands-on experience and grit that school alone couldn’t teach.
After graduating high school, I earned a degree in Construction Management. Then I went back to school and completed my associate degree in HVAC. While attending a SkillsUSA event as a spectator, I introduced myself to an HVAC company manager, asked for a job, and landed an internship in commercial HVAC service. I’ve been working in that field ever since, always staying curious and building new skills.
My mission to share what I’ve learned and represent the trades led me to start creating videos, giving classroom talks, and building a platform. I’ve worked with brands like Lowe’s and The Home Depot, been featured on podcasts and in magazines, and appeared in the 3M documentary SKILLED, which premiered at Sundance.
Today, I wear many hats: I publish books to introduce kids to trade careers, speak at events across the U.S. and Canada, and create content to inspire students, engage industry professionals, and break outdated stereotypes. I use my voice, tools, and creativity to help close the skills gap—one project, post, and connection at a time.
I never could’ve predicted my life would look like this, that’s kind of the point!! The trades have taken me on a path I didn’t expect, and I’ve learned that plans can change while purpose stays the same. I’m still growing, still building, and still reaching for what’s next. From new books and videos to bigger projects and partnerships, All Trades Paige is becoming more than a brand—it’s a movement. Want to be part of it?
