ABOUT US

John and Keely Shofner, a husband-and-wife team with deep roots in motorsport, launched KinForged as a passion project during the racing off-season. As they uncovered the rich world of Sonoma County artisans, each with a unique story, the project took on a life of its own. Before it has even officially launched, makers from all over are reaching out, eager to share their craft and be part of it.
