Joe Gordon was born and raised in Michigan and relocated with his family to middle Tennessee in 1989.
He is a lifetime motorcycle enthusiast. Gordon has always been interested in various art forms and has a strong eye for detail. As a young man, he sketched pictures using pen and ink before shifting his attention to painting. He built and painted many custom motorcycles while also exploring his talents on canvas with acrylics and oils.
In addition to painting, he had a genuine interest in woodworking. He created everything from walking sticks and furniture to two room cabins. Once he encountered leather crafting, Gordon discovered his passion. Since retiring, he takes great initiative to hone his skills and takes great pride in his self-taught talent. He is not a fan of mass produced products; therefore he works tirelessly to create one of a kind heirloom pieces. “Tooling” leather, while challenging, has proven to be personally rewarding.
Gordon is always eager to share both his excitement and products with anyone interested.
