Turtle Joe, a Miami born native, set out with a mission to change the world in any way he could.

20 years ago, Turtle Joe accidentally met the original artisan family while on a trip to Ecuador. He grew his relationship with the family and in 2001 started SS Handcrafted Art.

Since then, Joe has founded the Turtleman Foundation, fulfilling his lifelong dream to give back to the oceans and sea turtles.

Turtle Joe is the friendly face behind SS Handcrafted Art that so many know and love. He is the smiling face at every tradeshow and enjoys bringing a smile to the face of all he meets.
