He learned blacksmithing at the age of 10 in his hometown of Italy. In 1957, Vincent immigrated to the United States. He married and worked at various jobs in the steel industry. A friend asked him to make a set of fireplace doors and upon completion of some very beautiful and functional doors, his business was born. Vincent began to work with clients from all over the Hudson Valley area and has built many unqiue doors. Vincent taught Joseph all he knew about making fireplace doors. Vincent retired in 2009 and Joseph now runs the business.
