Episode 8 Getting "Salty" with Griffin Coiner, Mad Scientist of Stache Salt

Griffin is the owner/mad scientist of 'Stache Salt, a men's grooming company passionate about raising standards, giving back to families in need, and making dudes better on AND off the job. He started in the fire service in 2010 at a volunteer FD, putting himself through EMT school and fire academy before working part time for a local department in TX, and eventually working full time for one of the biggest departments in TX. After a few years he was put in a position and asked to lie on some paperwork, or risk being sent home without pay, and eventually forced to resign. Griffin was sent home that day, and that's where he thought his fire service career was going to end. He and his wife turned what was a sweet side gig ('Stache Salt) into their full-time job and relocated their family to Utah. After staying involved in the fire service through training opportunities, attending conferences, and continuing to support the mission of the fire service, he found himself on a new department in Utah, and after some time has found his seat as Lieutenant on Engine 71. He and his wife are continuing to grow 'Stache Salt with a mission to provide excellent products that match the hard working members and mentality of the fire service. Griffin is passionate about realistic training, remaining a student of the craft, and getting back to the basics of the fire service. Search is the foundation and reason why we go to jobs, and he wants to help promote a culture of service to the citizens over FD member "safety." He currently serves as a member of the Ambassadors of the Craft Cadre, as well as helping with his local recruit academies.
