Cape Cod raised.
Always building something.
I've been on Cape Cod my whole life. Grew up here, worked here, built my career here. And growing up, I watched my father carve the most realistic bird carvings you've ever seen — intricate, patient, beautiful work done completely by hand. He also painted and drew in ways that stopped people in their tracks. That's where it started for me. Watching someone create something from nothing, with their own hands, and seeing people's faces when they looked at it.
I carried that into everything I did. For the majority of my life I've worked as a marine mechanic — over 20 years in the industry, working my way up from washing boats to becoming a certified Yamaha and Suzuki technician. Running operations. Solving the problems other people walk away from. The marine world taught me that if something's worth doing, it's worth doing right — and that shortcuts always cost you more in the end.
But through all of it, that creative pull never left. I always needed to be making something.
CreateEveryDay.
Not a hashtag. A decision.
I've always wanted something I could call my own. Not a job. Not a position. Something built with my name on it that I could hand down someday.
So I taught myself CNC machining on a Shapeoko 5 Pro. Combined it with 20 years of hands-on fabrication experience — wood, epoxy, fiberglass, you name it. Started making things. A board here, a sign there. Put it out into the world and watched what happened.
People responded. Not because the products were cheap or fast — but because they could feel that someone actually made them. That's what I decided to build on.
Harrington & Co.
Built to last.
Today Harrington & Co. makes custom charcuterie boards, signs, live edge furniture, and corporate gifts — all built by hand in our Cape Cod shop. Every piece that leaves here was designed, cut, and finished by the same hands. That's not a selling point. That's just the only way I know how to work.
The goal was never to be the biggest shop on the Cape. It was to build something real — something worth being proud of, something that could still be standing in 30 years, and something I could pass down to my family someday.
That's what every board, every sign, and every table is built toward. You can feel it when you hold one.
