Meet the craftsman behind Papi’s

We’re Gene and Alysia Berry, the husband-and-wife team behind Papi’s Woodshop in Oregon City. Gene does the woodworking, and Alysia helps with the customer details and business side.

The name Papi began with our first grandchild—and became the name ten grandchildren now know him by. Gene also proudly served 13 years in the U.S. Army.
