Our Story: Why I Started FloCube

For me, it didn’t start with a business plan; it started with a problem. As a passionate citizen scientist and mycologist, I experienced the immense frustration of losing countless hours of meticulous work to a single, invisible airborne contaminant. I looked at the equipment on the market and it was either going the DIY route sourcing individual components and building a huge wooden box flow hood or laboratory flow hoods that were prohibitively expensive. There was a huge gap for dedicated hobbyists and even small-scale professional labs like my own.

This frustration was the spark. I was convinced there had to be a better way. My first laminar flow hood was born in my own garage here in Phoenix, Arizona. Driven by a simple principle—that commercial grade equipment should be accessible to everyone—I began designing and building my own units.

What began as a personal project quickly grew through word-of-mouth within the mycology community. Fellow cultivators saw the build quality and the successful results and wanted one for themselves. The demand soon outgrew my garage, which led me to a pivotal decision: to turn this passionate pursuit into a full-time mission. That was the moment I took the leap, and FloCube, as a company, was truly born. We moved into our first dedicated facility here in Phoenix, committed to scaling up without ever scaling back on quality.

Today, FloCube stands as a testament to that initial vision. We are now a full-time manufacturer and a respected innovator and competitor in the cleanroom equipment space. Our growth is a direct result of the unwavering support from loyal clients along the way and our commitment to the first principles I established in my garage:

USA Manufacturing: We design, fabricate, and assemble our products right here in Phoenix. This gives us complete control over quality, from the raw sheet metal to the final quality control test for every single unit.

Purpose-Driven Innovation: Every new product, from our risers and wall-mount kits to our LED work lights, is a direct response to the real-world needs of our community. We don’t just build equipment; we create solutions to make your sterile work more efficient, reliable, and comfortable.

Uncompromising Quality: We use all UL-listed components and welded construction that sets our products apart, ensuring every customer receives a product built to perform and last along with our industry leading warranty.

Even though our workshop is much larger than my garage, my core mission remains unchanged: to empower the work of professionals and citizen scientists alike by providing the most reliable, effective, and accessible sterile air solutions on the market. We are innovators, builders, and, most importantly, members of the community we serve.
