Meet the Engineer

The Tern craft ice cream maker is the brainchild of Josh Stuckey. Josh and his wife Katie fell in love with making homemade ice cream after receiving an ice cream maker as a wedding gift. But they didn’t love the quality of ice cream that came out. After buying half a dozen different ice cream makers and testing countless recipes, Josh dug into the science and started tinkering. An engineer by trade, Josh developed the Tern craft ice cream maker to make artisan-style ice cream at home. His family loved it. And because ice cream is better with a friend, he decided to share Tern with the world.
