Amanda Groebner, Boss of Everything
Amanda, as the co-owner of TimeWorn Wood since 2009, has been instrumental in the company’s journey, beginning her collaboration with Jared in 2005 in the construction of custom log and timber frame homes. She is a holder of a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design, with a focus on Historic Restoration, from Minnesota State University, Mankato, a testament to her passion for beautifully crafted furniture and their historical significance.
Raised on a working farm, Amanda’s earliest memories are filled with sketches of furniture designs and floor plans, a pastime that foreshadowed her future career. Her father, a farmer, and a jack-of-all-trades, involved her in various projects instilling skills she would later use daily in her profession. The time spent on farm chores, especially in and around their picturesque barn, sparked her imagination about the stories old wood could tell.
Amanda’s comprehensive role at TimeWorn Wood is aptly summarized in her title. She is the linchpin of the operation, overseeing and executing a multitude of tasks too long to list, but a short version includes: sourcing lumber, inventory management, shipping, estimating, drafting, sales, and often being the primary point of contact for most, if not all, of TimeWorn’s clientele. This multifaceted role cements her as the “Boss of Everything” at the company, a title she upholds with dedication and expertise.
Jared Groebner, Head Dude
Jared is the co-owner of TimeWorn Wood, established in 2009. He brings extensive experience in utilizing reclaimed wood for log and timber frame home construction from 2004 to 2009. Prior to that, he was a custom home builder from 1997 to 2004. He holds a bachelor’s degree in architecture, which he obtained between 1992 and 1996, underlining his deep understanding of design and construction.
From his earliest moments, construction has been an integral part of his life; his mother actually went into labor with him while assisting his father in the deconstruction of a house. Growing up, he dedicated his youth to sports and helping his father, including tasks such as staking out house foundations for excavation and assisting in the crafting of custom cabinets during the winter months. His father, a master carpenter, honed his craft for 45 years, undoubtedly imparting invaluable skills and knowledge to him.
Jared is head of the production and finishing teams and leads the company’s product research, product development, and advertising. With his deep appreciation for all things wood and a knack for finding beauty where others assume waste, Jared’s passion inspires creativity and enthusiasm in the shop.
