I grew up in Visalia, California. From a young age I loved playing sports with my brother. We also enjoyed playing music; my brother on the guitar and me on the drums. We played in a few bands that would do gigs like car shows, coffee shops and some weddings. At 17 I started working in my family's furniture store. At age 20 I moved to New York City for one year, during which time I enjoyed going to museums like the Metropolitan in my spare time. Thereafter I moved to the central coast of California where I worked in my family's retail stores in San Luis Obispo County. Eventually a friend got me into surfing, during which time I sure enjoyed some amazing sunset surfs and other epic times! In 2013 I moved back to the central valley and married my best friend Ashley! Together we manage Quality Tapestries. We absolutely love spending time cooking together, always trying new recipes, especially if it involves curry! We also love to travel internationally, having just enjoyed a wonderful trip to Budapest in the summer of 2024, which is where this picture of me was taken. If you've read this far I applaud you and thank you sincerely for taking an interest in us and our business!!

Benji likes long walks on the beach, cuddling, following his owners around the house, snoring while awake, sleeping on his back and exhaling loudly when he's exasperated. Although he does not technically "work", we'd still like to count him in as part of our Quality Tapestries team. 🐶 Since 2020 he has served as our rescue pup and gives us good emotional support via cuddles and cuteness which help to keep us going!
