Tanner Janesky
Founder / Engineer

Tanner's goal in starting the company is to help people have a higher quality of life and a longer healthy lifespan by removing allergens and harmful pollutants from the air.
He has a background in designing efficient products, such as the most powerful and efficient dehumidifier in the world for its size.  He also has many allergies and asthma caused by airborne allergens and pollutants like pollen, mold spores, pet dander, dust, and VOCs.  He had tried many brands of air purifiers in the past, and had varying degrees of success with them, but he could never find one that fit 3 important criteria: cleaned a high volume of air, removed the smallest pollutants from the air, and cleaned the air using very little electricity.  After much research he found the perfect air purifier just didn't exist, and there were many air purifiers touting a "new technology" that turns out to just be a new branding on a technology that doesn't actually work or that is unhealthy for people.  That's why he decided to design the ultimate air purifier that he would want to use.  An air purifier that would deliver a truly meaningful quality of life improvement for people - especially those with allergies and asthma like him.  The result of 2 years of design and testing is what he believes is the best air purifier available that uses only elemental cleaning technologies that are proven to work and are 100% safe and healthy.  When he's not working on air purification, he enjoys learning new things, trail running, riding dirt bikes, mountain biking, climbing and endurance racing. He's passionate about thermodynamics, energy, sustainable development, and resource use.  "You can have anything in life you want, if you'll just help enough other people get what they want." - Zig Ziglar

Johnny is part of our Aspen manufacturing team.  He is one of the first high school graduates from Bridgeport Military Academy.  He spends a lot of time reading books, specifically ones that offer inspiration about military history and tactics. On occasion, he writes fictional short stories.  He's inspired by his parents, who have overcome significant obstacles and have created things to help others.  They provide him with encouragement towards his goals.  "I am on a never-ending journey to becoming better today than yesterday, every day," is a quote he lives by.  He feels becoming familiar with people in our communities and social interaction can improve the world.  "A realization I recently gained is that if you want to have a change in your life, you must be willing to commit to it. Making small changes in your day-to-day life can have a motivational effect that can help you push toward significant changes."
