Trevor Andruss | Owner/Operator
Trevor founded Embers in 2011, when he and his family moved to the Central Coast of California. What began as an online fireplace company has grown under his leadership into a full indoor/outdoor lifestyle brand, with a showroom in Westminster, Colorado and customers nationwide. Through that growth, Trevor has kept Embers a family business at heart, built on educating customers and treating them the way he'd treat his own family.
