The story of how Campfire Homes came to be is one of connections and perhaps coincidence. Mark Rostan, Michael Brown, and Drew Estes had been members of a real estate development company that went well until the economic collapse of 2008. Realizing that real estate was not the place to be at that time, they parted ways, but kept in touch. Several years later, Mark got to know Phyllis Tsang through a shared passion for trail running. One day in early 2014, Phyllis started talking about wanting a tiny house and how she had designed one and even gone so far as to get a quote on building it. Mark filed this information away but then didn't think about it for a while. Later that year, Drew and Mark reunited to start flipping foreclosures, but to also think about a way to get back into building a new company. About a month later, while Mark was walking his dogs, the conversation he had had with Phyllis came to mind and he quickly messaged Drew to look into tiny houses. Drew did and was intrigued about this unique niche and was immediately on board. Phyllis was brought into the fold and the three spent the next year researching, planning, designing, contacting suppliers, and basically making certain they could come to market with a high quality product. In December 2015, the first model was completed and appeared in area Christmas parades. A few years later, Michael joined the Campfire team and the story continues to be written.
