CLAY HUDEPOHL
Clay Hudepohl, General Manager at Shrock Premier Cabinet Division
Office: 419-994-0005
With a background in painting and hanging wallpaper I have been a home improvement junkie ever since I bought my first home. I left that profession for a career as a CNC machinist, where after 15 years I decided to return to school and pursue a degree in Business Management. Since graduating I have held positions as Group Manager, Scheduling Supervisor, and most recently as Supply Chain Manager for one of the largest automotive glass tempering facilities in the country.
My experience with process improvement led me to the Shrock team and I enjoy helping create and implement standards and procedures to improve not only process quality and efficiency but also the overall customer experience. I love working so close to my home and with such a great team of kind and hardworking craftsmen. I continue to enjoy working on many different projects both inside and outside of the home I share with my beautiful wife. I also enjoying watching sports and movies as well as reading, drawing, and listening to all kinds of music.

The most unique project is also one of David’s favorites; creating a 10’ long replica boat to use as a custom bar for clients! He enjoys the creative challenge of his work and satisfaction that each piece is one of a kind, designed for a particular client.
Although David may be a man of few words, his work at Shrock Cabinets speaks volumes.

JOHN MARTIN MILLER
John Martin Miller, Master Craftsman
John is the master craftsman at Shrock Cabinetry and has over 30 years of experience making cabinets and creating furniture. He has completed cabinetry projects in 11 different states. He is what many refer to as a true “artist of cabinetry and furniture making!” He began his love for fine woodworking by completing small projects for family and neighbors, using his dad’s simple old table saw, band saw, and a small lathe. Today, John has adapted to the latest technology of Shrock Cabinetry, completing cabinetry of all styles, shapes, and sizes and also a bit of furniture and special projects. He possesses impeccable attention to detail and is passionate about his work.
One of his most memorable projects was a cabinetry install in Colorado. He was able to take two sons along and while there the three Millers were also able to take some time to enjoy what Colorado had to offer: primarily the great outdoors!! John would say that his favorite piece, however, was a very special project involving a hidden gun cabinet within a hidden gun room. He constructed a bookshelf which cleverly disguised the opening to the gun room.
When John is not busy working at the Shrock Cabinet Division, he also enjoys life with his 11 children and his wife and regularly attends local sales. The family has built a beautifully maintained softball field which draws many to the Miller homestead. Countless summer hours are spent with family, friends, and neighbors back on the ball field!
