Don Peschke

Don Peschke founded August Home Publishing in 1978 – working out of his basement to produce the first issue of Woodsmith. Since then, August Home has launched four more magazines (Cuisine at home, Garden Gate, ShopNotes, and My Home My Style), plus over 60 SIP titles.

In addition, August Home has a robust e-media group dedicated to producing over 40 websites and weekly digital editions, along with an e-marketing group sending over 25 million emails a year.

August Home entered broadcast TV with the Woodsmith Shop, aired nationwide on public TV channels, and produced its own TV studio.

Today, August Home has grown to 130 professionals dedicated to meeting its mission: “Surrounding our customers with service.”
