Joey Fernandez - President, Founder

The Founder and Board President is Joey Fernandez, a self-taught preservationist whose passion has sparked this generation’s call to awareness of the fragility and vulnerability of this historically significant place. Where Joey has seen a need, he has stepped into action. Every single bullet point that describes this organization’s work is a result of the thousands of hours he has spent in Rose Hill. Through his painstaking labors and growing expertise in the artistry of stone carving, several hundred crumbling gravestones and broken monuments have been made whole. Joey’s work has been recognized by the Historic Macon Foundation and Macon-Bibb Parks & Beautification and has inspired other Macon residents to step in and help out!
