About Clem & Simms Fire Starters

The Meaning Behind the Name

Clem was Ryan’s grandfather — a hardworking milkman and skilled carpenter who inspired the love of building with wood.
Simms is Ryan’s lifelong nickname — a reminder of identity, resilience, and perseverance.

Together, Clem & Simms represents:

• Craftsmanship
• Family
• Healing
• Legacy

Fire That Gives Back

A portion of every sale supports mental health initiatives, because Ryan believes that fire is more than warmth — it’s grounding, connection, and hope.

This belief led to the creation of The Healing Flame Initiative, a growing community project focused on:

• Mental wellness
• Recovery
• Youth programming
• Indigenous partnerships
• Grounding ritual through fire
