Meet Our Founder

Hi, I’m Brendan—and I’m proud to help you turn your time at home into true quality time.

Before becoming a digital nomad, I lived in a condo in Florida with a wood-burning fireplace. At first, I assumed I’d never use it—after all, who needs a fire in the Florida heat? But when my future wife moved in, everything changed. During the cooler months, we lit fires almost every night. That fireplace became the heart of our home—movie nights, dinner parties, holidays—it was always there, adding warmth and atmosphere to the moment.

But living in a condo complex came with its challenges. My neighbors weren’t thrilled about the nightly sound of chopping wood. And to make it all work, I had to walk four blocks to buy wood, lug two heavy bags home, then carry them up three flights of stairs. The next day was always cleanup day—sweeping ash, emptying the grate, and trying not to track soot around the house.

Eventually, it became too much. Wood was getting expensive, my back was protesting, and I knew there had to be a better way. That’s when I started researching electric fireplaces. But every time I tried to get answers—called shops, left messages—no one called back.

So I decided to build something better.
