About me

Hello! My name is Whitney. I was born and raised in the Central Coast of California. After high school, I moved to Arlington, Virginia, finished college then worked in the medical field for over a decade. As rewarding as my career was, my personal life was passing me by. Most of my days were spent inside,  while my nieces were growing up and my parents were getting older. I told myself that whatever I did next had to be closer to home.

A new chapter

One day, I decided to celebrate my friend's new engagement on the beach, but we didn't want the usual “sit on the sand and dig a hole” for a fire night. We wanted a more elevated experience to celebrate the occasion at hand! During the process I thought how fantastic this service would be if all of the supplies were provided and set up for us in advance. This gave me the idea of Pismo Bonfires. Now, I get to be near my family, spend most of my days outside building a business I love, and helping others create new memories.
