The Trade Table was born at the end of the owner, Forrest Webber, time at JPMorgan, where he was a Data Domain Architect. He wanted to get out of the banking industry and into a role he felt would develop him more as a person and give him life-long skills, so he started looking into trade professions. Ultimately, he decided to become an electrician and began the apprenticeship journey - He likes to think he is the first-ever JPMorgan employee turned electrician.

On the journey to becoming an electrician apprentice, he was browsing through trade profession websites for inspiration on what trade to pursue. He soon realized no online trade supply store was built for the everyday homeowner. And thus, The Trade Table was born.
