Next Rung was founded by our Director, Blake Stinnett. He wanted to make a difference in the lives of firefighters and all first responders. The goal quickly changed from being an apparel company to truly being able to serve first responders in their battle against mental health issues. Blake has a background in ministry, working with families and students. However, growing up with a father who was a firefighter, he knew that this profession and brotherhood was something special.

After 8 years in full-time ministry, Blake changed gears and started his career as a firefighter in 2015. He currently serves as a firefighter/paramedic with Sandy Springs Fire, which is in Fulton County, Georgia. Blake lives in Covington, Ga with his beautiful wife (Natalie) and two precious children (Layleigh and Jack). Blake’s ultimate hope is to serve and make a difference. He set out with a goal to change the life of one person, but hopes to change and help save the lives of hundreds of firefighters and first responders across the United States. He believes that Next Rung can do this and that they will make waves in the Fire and First Responder community.
