About Us
Thomas Filiaggi
Thomas graduated from Virginia Tech with an IT degree in 2006. He and his father bought an old, dilapidated church on Cabell Street the same year in hopes of restoring it into an event venue. That plan didn’t pan out due to zoning regulations, but it’s where the love affair of building things with his hands started. The church was the first workshop and when Thomas and Larry outgrew the space, they rented a 3000 square foot space from Oliver Kuttner on Kemper Street. Two years later, a 10,000 square foot building was purchased, which is where the current workshop is located and where Thomas and his wife Anna lived for six years. He enjoys eating, drinking beer, and cooking in his spare time.
Larry Filiaggi
Larry moved to Lynchburg in 1977. He owned a structural steel detailing business for 15 years before taking time off to build his own house. Larry worked independently for a number of years before becoming engineering manager at Lynchburg Steel. He worked with Thomas after hours before coming on full-time in 2014. Larry and his wife Sue have four children, four grandchildren and enjoys spending time with all of them.
