Joe Rotondi, maker and executive director for The Forge, a makerspace, Tuesday, October 20, 2015, in Greensboro, N.C.

JERRY WOLFORD and SCOTT MUTHERSBAUGH / Perfecta Visuals

Joe stumbled upon a group of makers at a local coffee shop, brainstorming ideas on forming their own makerspace, a space where people can come together to create, invent and learn. He couldn’t stop himself from getting involved. What started as subscribing to their e-newsletter later led to a huge career opportunity.
 
Now Joe’s the maestro of The Forge, the city’s only space that connects makers with equipment, mentors and resources that would otherwise be quite costly. It’s home to a full wood working shop and soft space that includes 3D printers. The Forge “lowers the barriers of entry in creativity and new ideas.”
