Meet The Artisans

As homeschooling veterans, we have always enjoyed doing things together. The older our kids got, the clearer it became that they would not join the workforce in a conventional way. Our daughter started her own business and our sons went into the trades but the idea of having a family business has been growing in the years since our youngest graduated. Now we are putting our talents to work in a very familiar way - together.
Joe ~ Welder/Fabricator
Joe started working for a small business that serves the auto industry
after high school and was there for four years. Now he is a firefighter/EMT when he isn't working on GBA products. In his (limited) free time, Joe likes playing airsoft and being with his people.
Mark ~ Woodworker & Blacksmith
Mark started working with wood for a small business during his senior year in high school but he's been making things out of all sorts of materials for years. He picked up blacksmithing as a hobby in high school as well.

In his free time, Mark likes tinkering with things and enjoys a good movie night.
Carrie ~ Administrator
Carrie helps run things behind the scenes including customer service, packing orders, and managing inventory. She also makes our custom prayer posters.

In her free time, Carrie enjoys playing all sorts of games and hanging out with her family and friends.
Sarah ~ Administrator
Sarah works with customer service, orders, and inventory, but she also manages the website & Instagram account, as well as doing all the photography and graphic design for our online presence.

In her free time, Sarah enjoys reading, baking, and following the Detroit Tigers baseball team.

       Dan ~ Facilities Manager
Dan is a retired engineer and now is a full-time farmer. He helps out as needed and has ideas that we hope to incorporate into the business in the future.
Liesl ~ Administrator
Yes, like the Sound of Music :) 

Liesl helps on the content creation, design, & customer service side of things right now but don't be surprised if you see her jumping into the product side too! 

In her free time, Liesl writes YA novels for girls trying to find their place in this world, tries out new recipes in her pink kitchen, and scouts the local coffee shops for the best mocha.
