Meet Our Team

Craig Caswell
President

Craig started Common Sense Office Furniture back in 1997 and is like a father to all of us. He prides himself on building warm relationships with customers, providing wonderful service, and having an amazing head of hair. Craig is always up for a game of golf – or client entertainment (have you seen the bar in our showroom?) Most importantly hiring the right people over the years has helped the business flourish and providing an excellent place to work is at the top of the list.

Josh Smargiassi

Josh is a recent addition to the CSOF team and resides in NJ where he owns and operates our sister branch Boomerang Office Furniture. Josh has worked in the office furniture industry for over 17 years, and enjoys creating workplaces that breed creativity, productivity, and that which enhance work - life harmony.  Josh is married to his high school sweetheart, Marissa, and enjoys trying new restaurants, travel, and watching each of his 3 kids play sports. If he isn’t at the office or on the fields with his children, you can most likely find him on a golf course entertaining some of our clients!

Sara Hagner

Nick Caswell
Sales Associate

Nick's been an essential part of our CSOF family since 2016. He started working summers in the warehouse, to Operations Manager, and now in sales; there's nothing he can't do. When he's not in the office, he loves working on his vehicles or playing with his two labs, Fiona and Frankie. Go Patriots!

Brian Mulligan
Sales Associate

Brian is a part of our sales team who never seems to stress out. As long as he has some coffee in hand, he is willing and able to handle anything. He would like to remind you to stay calm and chive on.

John Sorrell
Sales Associate

John has been in or around the commercial furniture space for 20+ years. He started out in installations and deliveries, then moved into sales where his slogan became "We are in the Service industry, we just happen to sell a product that fits your needs". When he is not in the office, you can catch John on a stage doing stand-up comedy at local clubs, networking events, or even in the woods looking to identify a new bird. John is also the father of 6 beautifully, talented children.
