Stephanie Hoffman: Underground Metalworks

Stephanie Hoffman is an accomplished welder, instructor, and the face of the American Welding Society. She has a fabrication shop on the Jersey Shore, where she grew up called Underground Metalworks; and it didn’t all come without a price. The beginning of her welding career wasn’t easy as she faced obstacles that she had to overcome; she was overlooked and not welcome in an industry that she loved but she never gave up. Her experience is extraordinary and the good she is doing by ushering young people into welding is commendable. We touched on her life, welding and the bittersweet parts of being a judge on Netflix’s Metalshop Masters. Stephanie is an inspiring person and her story is one of inner fortitude and perseverance. Thanks again for coming on, I really appreciate your candor. - GF
