Steve founded Resource Furniture with his partner Ron Barth in 2000. Since then, they have built Resource into the global transforming furniture brand that it is today. One of Steve’s primary focuses is on our dedicated Contract Division, working closely with developers, hoteliers and their design teams. He also focuses on his clients, staff, and family (but not necessarily in that order).

After growing up in Northern California, Emily moved to Los Angeles to study Visual Communications at FIDM. She joined Resource Furniture’s New York showroom in 2014, then headed west to open the Seattle showroom in 2021. In 2025, her journey brought her back to Los Angeles. When she’s not working, Emily is usually reading, catching up on every show in the running for an Emmy, or searching the city for the perfect taco.

After growing up in California, Tyler made his way to New York (on his motorcycle to boot!) and spent a decade working in furniture and design. Now he’s back on the west coast with his family, and in his spare time (used loosely, as all young parents will know) he’s a drummer, camper, and woodworker. Tyler joined the company in 2016.

Trish comes to Resource with a rich and diverse professional background; after earning her BFA in fine arts sculpture, she went on to gain experience in product development, design, merchandising, and sales. She often describes her experience and skill set as "complex, but not complicated." When she is not working her magic in the Contract Division, you may find Trish hiking, biking, taking an ocean swim at sunrise, or training for her next triathlon. (That's right, she also happens to be a USAT-certified triathlon and marathon coach, and an 10-time full distance Ironman!) If you love anything that gets your blood pumping, Trish is your girl!

No stairwell is too narrow, no order too custom for backpack-toting Kirk. As Senior Project Manager, Kirk handles all the logistical details for our Contract Division to ensure a smooth delivery and installation. Whether he's getting furniture to the top of a six-story walkup, or figuring out that the ceiling is 2” lower than the furniture before the order is placed, Kirk makes sure every little detail is attended to. Kirk joined the company in 2010.
