Hello, my name is Joe and I am a furniture maker living in New Jersey. I served four years in the Marine Corps from 2003-2007, while serving I met many people from all over the country with different backgrounds and beliefs. I found that on the surface we were very different, but our core values of honor, courage and commitment to ourselves to the Marine Corps and to our country united us. From these values, we were able to form incredibly strong bonds.

After leaving the Marine Corps, I wanted to find a similar connection with people from different backgrounds and be united in a goal, I have found that connection through woodworking. I found it in asking for advice and helping other furniture makers, and most importantly with the people that I have the opportunity to create something timeless for.

I enjoy making benches, chairs and tables, often combining different styles and species of wood to make something unique and special. I make furniture that can be used in peoples daily lives, until it blends into their home and they form memories around a piece that was handmade by me.
