If you've been in the fireplace business for any amount of time, then the name Tom Pugh (1952-2012) should mean something to you... He's the man who invented the clean face fireplace, created HPBA's Government Affairs Academy in Washington, D.C., and helped hearth dealers across the country grow profitably with his playbook: "Blueprint for Success".
Tom was someone who could see further down the road than anyone else at the time. He was relentless about understanding what needed to be done and taking action when no one else wanted to rock the boat—something that our entire industry owes him a debt of gratitude for.
