About The Trade Table

The Trade Table Team

Forrest Webber - Founder

The Trade Table was born at the end of the owner, Forrest Webber, time at JPMorgan, where he was a Data Domain Architect. He wanted to get out of the banking industry and into a role he felt would develop him more as a person and give him life-long skills, so he started looking into trade professions. Ultimately, he decided to become an electrician and began the apprenticeship journey - He likes to think he is the first-ever JPMorgan employee turned electrician.

On the journey to becoming an electrician apprentice, he was browsing through trade profession websites for inspiration on what trade to pursue. He soon realized no online trade supply store was built for the everyday homeowner. And thus, The Trade Table was born.

Forrest has since retired from being an electrician and focused on building The Trade Table.

John Serrano - Lead Operator

John is the Lead Operator of The Trade Table. John joined the team in November of 2022 and hasn't looked back. John brings a litany of skills, including, but not limited to, customer service, product uploads, advanced SEO knowledge, and, most importantly, product knowledge.

John is the go-to guy on the internet for categories like Mini-SplitsFireplaces, and Kitchen Appliances. John plans to acquire several certifications to bolster his knowledge of our products, more specifically he plans to take AHRI certification programs to increase his knowledge on heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration, and water heating products.
