It all started when...

In 2010 while sitting on the tailboard of his fire engine 12 year volunteer firefighter Zachary Green came up with the idea to create the company MN8 Foxfire.

MN8 Foxfire is a innovative company which uses photoluminescent (glow in the dark)technology to help firefighters reduce disorientation and increase accountability. What started as a hobby selling products out of the trunk of his car has now turned into a 15 person company with over 350 firefighter sales representatives in almost each of the 50 states. MN8 Foxfire now has over 60,000 firefighters in 25 different countries using Foxfire's advanced photoluminescent products. MN8-Foxfire offers more than 30 various UL-listed exit signs, a patented illuminating liquid stair nosing line stripe system, and safety signs ranging from fire extinguisher labels to floor numbers.  These eco-friendly products are used in major sports arena and high rise buildings to increase safety in the event of a blackout or power failure.

Zachary was named the 2013 Ohio Chamber of Commerce's Entrepreneur of the Year. MN8 Foxfire has been recognized by many organizations for their life saving technology such as a 2011 winner of Cincinnati Innovates and semi-finalist from Entrepreneur Magazine Entrepreneur of 2013.

Zachary is an avid traveler, outdoorsman and hunter. He is married with a eleven-year-old son who enjoys camping with his dad.
