Welcome to Just Breathe!
Hello! I’m Chris. I’ve always liked meeting new people, so I thought I’d tell you a bit about myself and Just Breathe.
I’ve been in Respiratory Therapy since I was 19 and absolutely love it. After 17 years of working for others, I was tired of trying to just “hit numbers.” I needed a change. So in 2016, we started thinking about opening our own little Medical Equipment shop. We found a small building for rent around the corner from our house. My wife and I went over one evening to take a look. We let our 2 little kiddos run around inside and they loved it! They belly laughed and were having the time of their lives. And, just like that, Just Breathe was born.
We were scared to death and literally started with a folding table and a computer. We were soon able to add Amber & Taylor, who are both like family and are both still with us. We would sit there daily waiting on the phone to ring. And, then, ring it did. It kept ringing and people started walking in. And it hasn’t stopped since. This community has supported us every step of the way, in ways unimaginable, and we couldn’t be more thankful. Just Breathe has grown to an unbelievable 13 member team (even though we still have the folding table in the back. 😊) And we still love seeing and helping our neighbors that walk through that front door of our shop around the corner!
