Entrepreneurs, designers, and beloved TV hosts Erin and Ben Napier are the face of America’s sweeping small town renaissance movement. Six days after meeting in college, Erin and Ben decided to get married and have been inseparable ever since, sharing their journey in Make Something Good Today: A Memoir. Erin is an artist, designer, and the New York Times bestselling author of the children’s book The Lantern House. Ben is a woodworker, author, and the founder of Scotsman Co. He served as president of Laurel’s Main Street America chapter dedicated to promoting the rebirth of their historic downtown district. They work side by side as the founders of Laurel Mercantile Co., designing American-made heirloom wares that transform a house into a home. Erin and Ben are leaders in their passion for small-town revitalization, inspiring individuals and organizations to commit their creativity, authenticity, and imagination to the places they call home.

Erin and Ben’s hit show Home Town was the highest-rated pilot in HGTV history, and the #1 show on the network in both its 4th and 5th seasons as well as one of the Top 5 shows on all of cable television. The hit show has inspired numerous series, from Home Town Kickstart Presented by PEOPLE, to Home Town Takeover – a record-setting spinoff event series – which takes Ben and Erin’s favorite phrase “make something good today” into the stratosphere while impacting the community for generations to come. In Home Town: Ben’s Workshop, master woodworker Ben shares his expertise in craftsmanship with a bevy of celebrity guests in one of the most-streamed original series on all networks. In sought-after events, Erin and Ben share their support for American craftsmanship, small business, and commitment to thriving local economies that demonstrate resilience in the face of adversity by working together.
