JOE’S STORY

Joe Lugosch, a native of Maine, embodies a unique blend of artistic flair and entrepreneurial spirit. Growing up amidst the rustic charm of his village of Round Pond, Joe found solace in the pages of books, the magic of movies, and the companionship of friends as they embarked on adventures to fund their penny candy indulgences.

A very shy child, Joe's world expanded dramatically at the age of 11 when he stumbled upon the stage of a local community theater production of The King and I. Embraced by the warmth of the theatrical community, he discovered a newfound passion for performance, particularly drawn to musical theater. This early exposure paved the way for his journey into the realm of dramatic character study and theatrical craftsmanship.

Joe has a Bachelor of Arts in Theater from Ohio Wesleyan University, where he refined his skills and deepened his understanding of the craft. Relocating to the vibrant city of Chicago, he continued acting on both stage and screen.

However, life took an unexpected turn when Joe's familial ties beckoned him back to his roots in Maine, where he took over the family's jewelry business. Embracing the challenge, Joe immersed himself in the world of fine jewelry design, seamlessly merging his artistic pursuits with his newfound entrepreneurial endeavors.

Now Joe balances his time between acting and jewelry design, able to create both the most concrete and cerebral art forms.
