Description

G. Keener & Co. Furniture came into existence in the summer of 2000. Although the company itself is young, the formation started years before that. The owner and craftsman, Gary Keener, enjoyed woodworking since he was a small boy. Pounding nails into anything he could get his hands on. Sometimes this got him into a little bit of trouble, but mostly it was appreciated. His potential was realized and refined a little as he entered high school and enrolled in Industrial Arts classes. The program was excellent and the instructor stressed fine joinery and quality finishes. As Gary entered college he decided he would take his love for woodworking and desire to work with people and become a teacher. He felt that passing on this passion to others would enhance society. He finished his degree and obtained a teaching position at a High School in Sandusky, Ohio teaching woodworking and drafting. While teaching, he began making furniture on the side for others in the community. Gary really enjoyed providing great furniture at a good value to others. Most of all he loved to see satisfied customers and the treasured the relationships that were made through the process. The love and desire to do this as a career propelled him forward into the next phase of this process. He and his wife decided that they would give a business a try, but first Gary felt that he needed some more instruction and marketing experience...
