Joe Myers, raised on a farm in Piedmont North Carolina, grew up surrounded by tools and metal. As an adult, he apprenticed himself to a Master Blacksmith to learn the trade.

As a Christian who made the Walk to Emmaus many years ago with his wife, Bonnie, he has sought ways to spread the gospel. One day, while puttering around in his Piedmont Classical Iron shop, Joe shaped two nails and welded them in the sign of the fish. The first IRONFISH was created.

Today, his shop handcrafts IRONFISH as pendants, key rings, ornaments and pins. The newest item, a nail, is a reminder of the crucifixion of Jesus, who gave His life for all.
