How Paul Accidentally Built a Thriving Furniture Business After Touring as a Musician

Paul founded the Philadelphia Table Company (PTC) in 2014 as a creative side hustle while still actively touring with his rock band. What began as a passion project soon evolved into a full-time career as he discovered a deep love for craftsmanship and design. With an eye for aesthetics and a strong entrepreneurial spirit, Paul transitioned from the stage to the workshop, dedicating himself entirely to the art of woodworking.Today, Paul leads PTC as the head of sales and design, overseeing each project’s vision and ensuring every piece reflects the company’s commitment to quality and authenticity. While he occasionally gets his hands dusty, he now entrusts most of the physical building to his talented and trusted team of artisans.Outside the workshop, Paul is a passionate outdoorsman. Whether he’s catching waves on his surfboard, exploring new hiking trails, or biking through the countryside, he finds inspiration in nature’s textures and forms. He lives a balanced life with his wife, Shea, and their two energetic border collies, who are often by his side during outdoor adventures. Paul’s journey is a testament to following your passion, embracing change, and building something meaningful from the ground up. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
