John Franciscus is among an elite group of artisans whose work is highly regarded. He has a national reputation as one of the finest Master Hand Engravers working in America today. Some of his clients include The Coca-Cola Company, Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, BellSouth, The Piedmont Driving Club, and the Augusta National Golf Club. One of his most notable honors was to be the hand engraver of golf's celebrated Masters Trophy for almost a quarter of a century.

He then emigrated from the Netherlands to Canada, and made his way to Atlanta in 1982. He quickly established himself as a Master Hand Engraver for the public, royalty, celebrities, and many Fortune 500 companies.
