Who we are
President and Founder
Ethan Koozer founded The Woodworking Co-op in 2023 with the mission to make woodworking accessible to those who might not otherwise have the opportunity. The business was incorporated as a 501c3 non-profit in 2025 to further expand their offerings. There’s a deep sense of pride and confidence that comes from building something with your own hands — and he believes that opportunity should belong to everyone.
Ethan grew up in a family of builders and painters in Nebraska, but has called North Jersey home since 2008. He began woodworking professionally in 2016, fabricating and installing millwork for many tri-state restaurants, high-end residential and commercial clients, and outfitting several recording and post-production studios across the US.
