Meet the Team


  • Owner + Artisan

    Elijah built the shop from the ground up, starting in a small backyard workspace where he traded projects for rent before steadily growing into a full-scale operation. Growing up on a farm, he learned to build from his papa early on, which shaped the hands-on approach he still carries today. Over the years, he’s expanded the business into a unified shop combining wood, metal, and powder coating, with a focus on quality craftsmanship and sustainability.

    He takes pride in building things the right way and creating a space where customers can see where their work is made. Outside of the day-to-day, he’s always working on growing the shop and bringing new ideas to life, including an evolving showroom built around the work coming out of the team. He lives in the country with his wife, Cassie, and their son, Micah.
