Randy is a man that enjoys working with his hands. He has been in the construction business for many years.

He enjoys building things and fixing things as well as many other hobbies.

He has been interested in stained glass for many years. After raising his children, he decided to do something that would be fun and challenging all at the same time.

He started by getting books out of the library to find out the process of producing stained glass.

He then found a stained glass store in Covington, Kentucky. He spoke with the owner for several hours discussing all the tools and techniques and selling features.

This made him even more excited about the process, so he bought all the tools he needed to begin this hobby. He started with inexpensive glass so he could give it a whirl and see what he could do.

The first piece he made was about the size of 8x10- just squares and triangles. He was so proud of that first piece. He felt he really accomplished something, and now that he looks back on that piece, he realizes how far he has come with his technique.

He loves seeing the light shine thru each piece. He loves selling his work and giving pieces away as gifts.

Randy also likes to use different frames to make each piece stand out. With his construction background he has been creative with wood frames and the hook chains for hanging various stained glass pieces.

Randy is married and has 4 children, 3 grandchilden and 1 on the way. Having his family grown is another form of accomplishment that he is very proud of.

He and his wife enjoy trips to the beach, spending time with the family and working together on projects.

He and Kim put together stepping stones with his scrap pieces of glass (this is a great project to do by the way).

Randy looks forward to seeing how new stained glass enthusiasts are doing with their projects and wants to teach as well as learn from others as he ventures into future stained glass designs.

Joe is a different breed. He is the one behind designing this site and has many plans to bring this beauty to life so it becomes one of the most visited and best resources on the web.

Seeing talent in others, he decided to team up with Randy to not only learn stained glass creation, but to share it with others.

Noticing a need in the market for others to learn, share, and discuss all things stained glass, he brainstormed create stained glass.

Owning two other websites: Florida travel site & Real Estate site, and building a few others, he prides himself on his own creativity.

An Accountant by trade, but entrepreneur at heart he wants to live the American Dream by helping others find their true passions and enjoying them to the fullest.

Joe has a son, a beautiful wife, and a full life ahead of him to reach out to other people and share experiences of common interest. He loves to travel, spend time with family, build websites, read, learn, and more!
