How Tanya's Husband Ryan Went from Journeyman Plumber to Project Manager
from Under Construction: Renovating A Home, Redeeming An Industry · host Erik Dieringer
This week, we welcome Tanya's husband and newest team member, Ryan Weltzin, to talk about his move from a 20-year career as a journeyman plumber into his new role as a project manager at Big Fish Contracting. We get into what went into making that decision, what it's been like learning a whole new side of construction, and why sometimes the best next step in your career is the one that pushes you outside your comfort zone. Ryan shares what he's brought with him from the trades and how those hands-on years have helped him step into project management. From learning new technology and juggling schedules to working with homeowners, subcontractors, and the Big Fish team, there's been a lot to figure out. And of course, Tanya shares her perspective on what it's like to have your spouse join the family business when you're both fully invested in the same company. You'll hear what Ryan has learned during the transition, how his experience in the trades still shapes the way he approaches projects, and what makes the Big Fish team feel like more than just a workplace.
