Keith and Bob first met over 20 years ago at our children's school events in our hometown, little did we know that one day we would one day be joining forces and starting Fire Hose Nozzles Direct. Fast forward a few years and we reconnected as we both were in the fire service industry where we built a solid business and professional relationship. Keith's son, Stefan, recently purchased that business from his father and brought a unique background and dynamic to the business. At dinner one night we discussed the fire service industry and we discovered that we all shared a vision of providing the highest quality products while providing excellent customer service to our customers. With that vision in mind at that dinner that night, Fire Hose Nozzles Direct was born! With over 100 years of combined experience in accounting, customer service, operations, and sales we have the experience, attitude, and knowledge to make our vision come to life. We look forward to building those strong relationships with our employees, vendors and customers.
