I’m excited to share that I’ve stepped into the role of CEO of William Henry and Tanner Goods. For decades, William Henry has created extraordinary knives, tools and jewelry that blend incredible and rare materials with modern engineering and artistry. Tanner Goods has built a loyal following with its beautifully simple leather goods made with thoughtful design and American craftsmanship. What draws me to both companies is the same idea: things should be made to last, and that the objects we carry every day should be made with incredible materials, care, and superior craftsmanship. I’m honored to work with the talented teams behind both brands - from designers and artisans to retail partners and customers who have supported the brands for decades. My goal is to build on the foundation that exists, while introducing these brands to the next generation of customers who appreciate well-made things. Special thank you to long-time retiring CEO, Dave Boeckel, who will join the William Henry Board of Directors, as well as Matthew Vance and Scott Roberts of VergePointe Capital, all of whom have been incredible sources of knowledge and support through this transition.
