MEET THE MANAGEMENT
Board of Directors
Lokki, Fritz, and Stevie lead everything we do. They shed, they bark, and occasionally steal socks—but they’re also the real personalities behind every piece built in the shop.
No Suits. No Meetings. Excellent Morale.
The Board didn’t appear out of nowhere. They’re part of a much longer journey—one that includes sawdust, setbacks, second chances, and a garage that slowly became a creative refuge.
DIRECTOR OF VIBES & EMOTIONAL SUPPORT
Lokki
Lokki specializes in morale, emotional calibration, and making sure no one works alone for too long. He provides strategic companionship, enforces regular break schedules, and excels at detecting stress before humans admit it exists.
His management style is gentle, persistent, and occasionally involves sitting directly on important paperwork.
FOUNDING COMPANION
Yogi
Yogi came into our lives in mid-2015 as a rescue from Birmingham, Alabama, where he had been found surviving on food from dumpsters. We brought him home for a very specific reason: Lokki was struggling badly with separation anxiety and needed a companion.
Yogi became that companion. His presence gave Lokki another dog to lean on when we had to leave, and he became an important part of the family—and of the path that eventually led to 3 Dogs Woodworking.
Yogi is now living his best life with his Fur Mom, and he will forever be an important part of the 3 Dogs Woodworking story.
DIRECTOR OF SECURITY · A.K.A. THE SARGE
Fritz
Small in stature but absolutely fearless, Fritz believes it is his sworn duty to patrol the house, protect groceries, monitor suspicious noises, and remind the other dogs that only he is authorized to bark first. Enforcement may include stern looks, tactical positioning, and the occasional corrective nip.
Despite his tough exterior, Fritz has the biggest heart in the building. He knows when someone—human or animal—needs help. He may run security, but compassion is his true specialty.
No deliveries pass unchecked. No snacks go unsupervised. No one messes with his people.
DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES
Stevie
Stevie is responsible for employee morale, visitor relations, and making sure everyone feels welcome—whether they planned to stop by or not.
Born a Catahoula/Aussie mix with a double merle gene, Stevie has limited vision and hearing, but what she lacks in those departments she more than makes up for in heart. She greets every person, dog, and new experience with pure joy and unfiltered affection.
She doesn’t judge. She doesn’t hold grudges. She believes everyone is good and deserves a chance. Frankly, she’s the reason HR meetings are mandatory—and also the reason they end in hugs.
THE HEART BEHIND THE SHOP
They’re the Reason I Keep Showing Up.
Through long shifts, rough weeks, broken tools, and projects that take longer than planned, Lokki, Fritz, and Stevie show up the same way every time: tails wagging, ready to supervise, and fully convinced they deserve credit for every finished piece.
