The Artisan brand was born in 1972 when my father, Larry Davis, opened Artisan Glass Works in the garage behind his apartment in downtown Sacramento. From very humble beginnings, he built a successful business that eventually became known as one of the finest architectural glass firms on the West Coast.

From a young age, my father instilled in me the value of hard work, honesty, integrity, and the golden rule. As I grew, I spent many summers and school breaks working at the shop (as we affectionally called it), and I had the opportunity to witness him treat his clients and employees with the very same values he worked so hard to impart on me.

When my father passed away in 2006, the Artisan brand went with him. Being fresh out of high school, I didn't have the means, the business acumen, or the artistic vision to continue his legacy. However, when I founded my tax and bookkeeping practice in 2020, I chose to revive the Artisan name as a tribute to my dad. And, though the focus of my business is totally different than his, our core values are very much the same - Trust. Transparency. Honesty.
