About Cutting Edge
Woodworking

We provide our clients attentive, one on one service

At Cutting Edge Woodworking, the entire company – from our designers to our expert shop craftsmen and finishers to our installers – is focused on building beautiful products and providing exceptional service. Our senior leadership team combines years of cabinet design and manufacturing experience with business process expertise that assures the highest level of quality and delivery performance. This permeates the culture of the company, where the many different departments that have a hand in building our furniture-quality cabinets collaborate with each other to make sure the job is done right and on-time.

Our Team

Craig Jack

Partner

Craig acquired a majority interest in Cutting Edge in late 2020. He has spent 25+ years managing and leading manufacturing companies of all types, and all over the world. Craig brings business process expertise, such as Lean, that complements Tom and the rest of the team’s woodworking expertise (though he did build furniture in high school!). Craig is married, and has three adult boys who were all born in different countries overseas. He enjoys anything that gets him into Colorado mountains, both summer and winter – especially skiing, biking and fly fishing.

Steve Pennisi

Partner, Shop Director

Steve has been with Cutting Edge since 2019, and was associated with the company as a contractor for many years before that. Steve is the one who takes the design shop drawings, and makes sure everything is constructed, finished and installed to meet the client’s expectations. He is a master carpenter, and also has a gift for troubleshooting problems that arise with all of the different machines we have at Cutting Edge. Steve is married and has two teenage daughters who keep him more than busy outside of work.

Jim Rockwell

Partner, Operations

Jim joined Cutting Edge in 2020. He is a graduate of the US Military Academy at West Point and served for eleven years in some of the Army’s elite infantry units, including the 2nd Ranger Battalion and the 82nd Airborne Division. After leaving the Army, he spent time running large distribution and manufacturing operations. Jim maintains our production schedule, leads our safety program and our continuous improvement work. He is married and has two daughters. Jim enjoys athletic activities that test his physical fitness, and old Army habit he hasn’t shaken.

Brian Hennek

Partner, Engineering

Brian has been with Cutting Edge since 2015. He led our custom department for years, building many of the unique items our customers most appreciate. He moved into engineering in 2021, where he is learning to apply his detailed construction knowledge to help improve our engineering process. Brian is married with three boys. He is an avid motor head, and enjoys snowmobiling in the winter and dirt biking in the summer.
