Chris is the owner of Hearthside Furniture in Lititz, Pennsylvania, where he focuses on high-quality, handcrafted wood furniture built for long-term use. His connection to woodworking began early, growing up in his father's woodshop and learning the fundamentals of craftsmanship, materials, and construction—an influence that continues to shape his approach today. With nearly 20 years of retail experience, he combines practical shop knowledge with a customer-focused mindset, helping people choose furniture that is both functional and enduring, with a commitment to simplicity, integrity, and pieces built to last for decades—not just years.
