"I wasn't a designer. I wasn't a CEO. At 21 I was kicked out of school. Fresh out of rehab. I poured myself into cooking, and built a pizza oven in the backyard. It changed my life. In fact, it probably saved it."

Tom, Founder & Designer (@tomgozney)

This is Tom's story. This is our story. For us, cooking with fire and creating food can be life changing. Tom telling his story is no small feat, especially when the world today can be so impersonal. This is why we hope Tom's story inspires others around the world.
