Founder

When I'm not working on forts or pranking my employees, I like to spend time creating a sharpening business. I started Sharpening Supplies in 2006 because I enjoying cooking and woodworking, two hobbies that both depended on sharp edges. The problem was, good information and quality sharpening equipment was surprisingly difficult to find. Nowhere offered real selection, quality tools, and expert guidance in one place. So I built it.

In the last 20 years I've learned far more about sharpening than I ever imagined possible. But I'm still learning every day. The more I learn, the more I learn how much more there is to learn.

Hobbies: Woodworking, Cooking, Fishing, Running
