Founder, builder, and lifelong gear head bringing hands-on grit and executive leadership together to power the Shift Haus mission.
Joe Garrett is a midwestern gearhead turned executive, a lifelong builder who went from cleaning concrete forms as a teenager to leading at the highest levels of construction supply distribution. With no college degree but years of hands-on grit, Joe forged his career ground-up—earning every inch of it with busted knuckles, late nights, and a stubborn belief in doing things the right way.
He founded Shift Haus to bring that spirit to life: a modern-day garage built on real tools, real stories, and real community. Whether he’s leading strategy, mentoring a new builder, or tuning an LS swap, Joe’s passion is simple—help people build something that matters.
