About The CEO

I founded and own Philadelphia Table Company in 2014. I started solo, in my parents' garage. Now, it's a 7-figure company with a team of 10 skilled makers.

I know firsthand the challenges of starting from scratch and scaling to 7+ figures. I’ve struggled to find clients, I've juggled the demands of creating and selling, and balancing passion with profit.

Business is full of ups and downs. Truth is, nothing is going to change that. But for too long, I felt alone, trying to figure it all out myself. That's why I started The Handcrafted Network.

These networks were built to be a resource for fellow makers like you (and me). This community is for woodworkers and furniture makers who want to learn from each other, support each other, and share effective systems and processes.

While myself and the other makers in the community can't do the work for you, collectively, we can help guide each other along the way.

Whether your just starting, or scaling, my goal is to ensure you’re not just surviving but thriving.

Let’s build BIGGER, together.
