A Pinellas County native, Nick is the original founder of Kava House Brands. Starting with a primary vape business in 2013, he began transitioning into more of a botanical business in 2018. A famously picky eater, Nick formulated the original recipe, using his palate as the tester, to provide a new way to enjoy botanicals: an on-tap refreshment, allowing a greater appeal to a broader audience. From there, Nick discovered the wide variety of products available and made it his mission to help introduce others in the form most appealing to them.

A Veteran and transplant from Connecticut, John chose to pursue a career in Emergency Medicine to help others. It’s this same passion that led John to join Kava House Brands, appreciating the natural varieties botanicals can offer. From anti-anxiety, and focus, to pain-relieving properties his favorite aspect is the natural solution at any time of day. Looking for a place to socialize and spend time with others, John wanted to create a place for others to gather and relax.

John’s go-to drink: White/Green Botanical with a hint of Pineberry
