Meet our team

James Cooke

Founder

With over 20 years of design experience, I’ve turned my passion into a side hustle. My wife Shelly and I moved to Gettysburg in 2022, drawn by its rich history and tight-knit community. Together, we founded Vinyl Forge to support and promote local businesses, blending creativity and craftsmanship to help our neighbors stand out. We take pride in contributing to the growth and success of Gettysburg’s small business community while celebrating the unique charm of the area we now call home.

Shelly Cooke

Co-founder

Shelly is an integral part of Vinyl Forge, managing billing, preparing projects, and overseeing supply orders. Her attention to detail and organizational skills ensure the smooth operation of the business, allowing us to focus on delivering exceptional designs to our community.

Roscoe Cooke

Design Director

Roscoe, our four-legged Design Director, takes his role very seriously—making sure every design meets our high standards of perfection. Whether it’s supervising from his favorite sunny spot or offering moral support with a wag of his tail, Roscoe keeps us motivated and on track. He’s the real boss around here!
