Meet The Maker
Dead Sled Leather Co. was founded by Jonathan Baker. Born in Louisville, Ky in 1990, Jonathan always displayed an artistic ability in almost every medium starting at a very young age. Jonathan fulfilled a childhood dream and started his career in Emergency Medical Services at the Age of 20 and eventually obtaining his goal of becoming a Paramedic. Helping others was always his primary goal. When Jonathan is not in an Ambulance, he can be found in his 1979 Cadillac Hearse on his way to The Dead Space with his shop Supervisor Puppy, Lola, riding shotgun.
Lola The Shop Pup
It is very rare that you will see Jonathan without his beloved best friend, a 6 Year Old German Shepherd named "Lola Montez." The two first met by accident at a breeders booth in 2014. Lola was 6 weeks old and the two had no idea of the adventures that would lay ahead of them. The two of have been inseparable since then. When Lola is in the Shop, she enjoys supervising daily activities, pushing for leather goods quality control, receiving belly rubs and treats. She is actually the backbone/CEO (Canine Executive Officer) for dead sled leather co. For every Dead Sled Product sold, Lola receives a treat and a 'boop' on the Nose!
