Mark Vetere,
Co-Owner of Vetere Custom Woodworks
Vetere Custom Woodworks

Mark Vetere co-founded Vetere Custom Woodworks in 2016 with his brothers, Matt and Adam, turning their childhood passion into a growing business. They create custom wood pieces, from cutting boards and military gifts to furniture and built-ins. Despite being a part-time operation, the business has steadily expanded. Mark, an active-duty Marine Corps officer and Naval Academy instructor, aims to grow it into a full-time venture while perfecting their craft.
