At Spark Change, we create eco-friendly fire starters from natural materials, dedicated to supporting education and outdoor experiences for youth that are underserved.
Spark Change was born from this vision. It’s more than a fire starter—it’s a mission to inspire outdoor adventure while giving back. By creating eco-friendly fire starters from sustainable materials and donating a portion of proceeds to nonprofits that provide outdoor programming for youth facing adversity, Spark Change is lighting the way to a brighter, healthier future for people and the planet.
Let’s ignite more than fires—let’s Spark Change!
As a proud native of Lincoln, Nebraska, I have always been captivated by the outdoors, which fosters deep connections between people and nature. Inspired by my late father, an avid mountain climber and adventurer, my passion for the wild was ignited early in life.
My mother often recalls how, at just three months old, my dad carried me in his mountain pack while he cross-country skied. These cherished memories sparked a lifelong love for camping, hiking, fishing, and helping others.
Over the years, I have transformed that passion into a mission, sharing the profound power of nature with those around me. In a world increasingly dominated by screens and indoor living, I am dedicated to inspiring others to step outside, reconnect, and wholeheartedly embrace the precious moments we have on this Earth, whether with loved ones or in cherished solitude.
