The Nibster is John Mottishaw. A "lapsed metal sculptor" with an art and metals background, John left a career in academia, and fine arts, to start his own business in 1992. He has specialized in nib re-tipping; repairing, and customizing, fountain pen nibs for the past 15 years. He stays in touch with the art world through his wife, Barrie Mottishaw, a well known landscape painter.
 
Jonella Hubbard joined the team in May 2007 as office manager. We are so happy that she has come back to us from her leave away! She replaces Pat, who has retired to continue her art career. After 10 years working in finance, this USC grad has shifted gears to be our assistant office manager and coordinator. While she brings a grounded business sense to the workshop, there is also an air of mystery. Mystery novels that is. She is working on a manuscript featuring amateur sleuth, Ivy Miller.

Danielle Behar joined us in the summer of 2004. She has returned from maternity leave and has welcomed a beautiful baby girl! A graduate of CSU Long Beach, with a degree in Fine Arts, she is our OMAS fountain pen expert. Having taken a hiatus from riding her bicycle to and from work, she will be going on maternity leave in October, returning afterward to her niche as OMAS and vintage pen repair/restoration expert.

Jonathan Goss joined Classic Fountain Pens in the Fall of 2007. As a screenwriter and pen-lover himself (he used to work at Flax in Westwood), Jonathan brings a fantastic sense of humor and a wealth of movie-knowledge to Nibs. Jonathan graduated with a BA in Film from Emerson.
