Josh Gippin

Josh was born and raised in Akron and is a product of our fine public school system. Josh graduated from Firestone High School a valedictorian in 1994 and after getting bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree, and going on some wild adventures around the U.S. and south of the border, he returned to Akron in 2004 to marry Shane Wynn, founded Joshua Tree Productions alongside her photography business (shanewynn.com), and started a family. Their daughter Hannah was born in 2008, and their son Malcolm was born in 2011. They are a tight knit family with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all living here in Northeast Ohio. The Gippins/Wynns have deep roots here and care very much about the community. 

“We kind of think of ourselves as a mom & pop shop- hardworking and honest, and Akron as a gem in the fabric of small-town America”
