About Us: Joe aka JoeTheBeard

Etsy has had quite a growth spurt in the past year, and we have the awkward pictures to prove it. We'll be posting a series of About Us pieces to help you get to know the Etsy admin (and since many of us work remotely, for the admin to get to know each other!). You've seen the admin badge, and maybe you're a bit curious about the person behind it! For more on Etsy's mission and about the company, please see our About page (the link is in the little blue footer of every Etsy page).

Joe, aka JoeTheBeard, is a recent hire to the Etsy Support Team. You might also recognize Joe from his Etsy shop DeepInTheWoods. (Who doesn't love Anna Karina? Seriously!) Joe is a quiet, funny and awesome guy that first charmed the Storque team with his commercial for his Etsy shop, which is pure genius. 

Joe also loves beards, as exhibited in his first Etsy Find, and his adorable baby bubble beard shown below. 



We look forward to learning more about Joe (and the rest of our new hires!) in the future. Be sure to give Joe a warm welcome. He'll be helping you in the very near future!

Joe, you look like a cool guy and I love your shop promo :) It's cool that you had a beard at such a young age and that you kept it so clean!

Welcome to the team.

Hi Joe ~ welcome to Etsy ~ I found brewing was a good way to make new friends :D (hint, hint)

Too bad you can't sell your brewed beer on Etsy. That would be great! :D

Anyone who can sport a bubble beard that awesome is a-o-k in my book!

A truly funny, bearded, beer-brewing, artist. Joe, where have you been all my life?
Glad you're part of the Etsy admin team.
