About the Owner - Craftsman

Grant Peterson was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska. From an early age, Grant spent a lot of time around craftsmen like his father and grandfather helping them with remodeling around the house, using power tools, and assisting with weekend projects. Their hardworking mindset and sense of pride in their work is what instilled a love for woodworking and creating furniture. Grant took further interest in woodworking in high school and college when his eye for design and a desire to create led him to make furniture for himself.

After years of developing his skills as a craftsman and learning through different woodworking mentors, he started Amos Approved in 2015. The name derived from his 100 pound English Golden Retriever, Amos. Since then, Amos Approved has established itself as a premier furniture business offering handcrafted solid wood furniture. Custom designs and one of a kind tables have become our specialty throughout homes and commercial spaces in Nebraska.
