Peter Schlosser graduated from Penn State in 1989 and began his career in furniture as repair manager for Boyles Furniture in North Carolina in 1993. In 1999
he opened Highland Repair and Refinishing, a
full-service furniture repair shop in Hickory, NC
which continues today. Charged with returning damaged furniture worth many thousands of dollars back to first—or better—quality helped refine his skills and learn dozens of techniques. This experience helps him teach technicians that seemingly complex problems, like crushed corners, can be easily repaired.

Peter's operational experience helps identify the source of common furniture damages, stemming the flow of goods to the shop rather than augmenting an existing operation. He has two beautiful children, Alex and Amelia, and lives in Morganton, NC.
