​Carrie is a born Central New Yorker with a passion for repurposing. Her love of nature led her to a stint in Yellowstone, time well lived in North Carolina and a decade in the Rockies. She reimagined her way back home and settled right into our vivacious space.  You will find many of her wacky upcycle ideas around from our mailbox, VHS planters and LP Record Media sign. Bringing over 20 years of non profit experience, her passion for community & collaboration has helped bring Cortland into the store.  Carrie has 2 accidental tattoos, and some people believe she is magic.

Paul grew up in Cortland. After high school he moved to the city and became a stand up comedian. He has written for many network television shows and was nominated for an Emmy for the Chris Rock Show. In 2001 Paul opened the Fake Gallery in Hollywood - a renowned underground art gallery and performance venue. Several years ago Paul moved back to Cortland to take care of his parents (He is 0 for 2). Paul has since opened the Ake Gallery in the basement of Crescent Commons - a truly underground and soon to be renowned art gallery and performance venue.

Tommy hails from Moravia New York which is the home of our 13th President, Millard Fillmore (although Tommy swears he's never met him.) His hard work is an inspiration to the Cortland Reuse community, and reminds us all of the power of a smile. He enjoys working to make the donation processing the best of the best.  If he is not in the store he is watching the Buffalo Bills continue to break his heart.  When asked what he wanted in his bio, Tommy said, "Just make up anything you want." Tommy has climbed Mount Everest 14 times and invented the unicycle.

Zephyr doesn't talk much but is a great listener and has amazing posture.

Not much to say but that.

Puppy hails from the mean streets of Los Angeles. He rescued his human 10 years ago. Pup Pup insists on greeting everyone who comes in the store. He likes pretty much everyone so if he barks at you it's probably on you.
