From Emergency Medicine to Cornhole: One Family’s Journey to Success

Cornhole has become a thriving business for a farmer and his family, who made a career change to focus on the sport. Their Skilled Cornhole company is dedicated to handcrafting high-quality cornhole boards, bags, and other equipment. Stephanie Bishell, a former emergency medical technician, leads the team with her attention to detail and commitment to quality.

At Skilled Cornhole, employees must be willing to get their hands dirty to create products that meet exact specifications. Stephanie emphasizes the importance of making things by hand to ensure quality control. Her father, Howie Wood, discovered cornhole while selling horse equipment and later turned it into a successful business.

Stephanie’s husband Tony also works in the family business and is focused on using the right number of screws to prevent bags from bouncing when thrown. The family stresses maintaining sturdy boards that do not wiggle, enhancing the overall playing experience for customers. Customer satisfaction is crucial for Stephanie, who continuously works to improve the smoothness of the boards, finish and throwing technique to ensure top-quality products.
