Hello my name is Mike! I am a husband and father of 3 (soon to be 4), who loves to make things and cook for my family on my Kamado. Smoke & Hammer began as a side project; a way to share my ideas and designs to fellow kamado grill and outdoor living enthusiasts. In my day job, I am a design professional, co-founder and principal creative director for Touch Design Studio Inc.,www.touchdesignstudio.com an award winning consultancy based in Philadelphia & NYC. 

Touch is primarily an environmental design agency with focus on workplace and retail environments. Smoke & Hammer was partly started as a way to get out from behind the computer and to get back to being in the shop, designing for myself and working with my hands again. Should this content prove to be a valuable resource to people, my hope is to grow Smoke & Hammer into a portfolio of well designed American handcrafted products & pieces that celebrate food, family, and the kamado tradition.
