If you’re a Grove fan, you probably know our co-founders Ken and Joe. But if you don’t, come meet them! Digital Trends, an online resource with easy-to-read reviews of trendsetting consumer products, posted an article covering the 10 necessities that our two cofounders can’t live without. Written by Kelly Montgomery, the post mentions a myriad of items, from a rainproof Nau jacket that allows Oregonians to comfortably commute on bike to a MacBook Air with its portable sleek design and reliability.

It also provides a glimpse into the Apple-centric and outdoorsy Pacific Northwest world of Grove’s cofounders, culture, and products. Their choices really shed light on what Joe and Ken value and how their unique personalities came together to form Grove.

“...Tomita had experience with custom-designed wood furniture, and Mansfield had previously worked engraving laptops, laptop cases, and leather covers for Moleskine notebooks. Now they run a successful small company (where everything is done in-house) that focuses on design, quality, and customer satisfaction.”

Thanks, Digital Trends! We hope to keep you buzzing with our newly released product lines!
