HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Hear The Story How We Started

In 2012 We were really into being outdoors & loved snowboarding & hiking, but I was always worried that even if we had a full search crew, & one of my children where to  got lost, hurt, or injured, we would have no way to hear them asking for help.

We were also worried we might run into a bear or maybe even a coyote. So we came up with this crazy noise maker made of PVC plastic and would take it with us everywhere. Over time, people would always ask us for one or ask us where they could get one. And that's when our journey began. We would stay up at night making a few for friends here and there by hand.

​

In 2014 Then we took one to a World Series game, and it changed our life. We had so many people requesting them, we got on the phone that week and found a manufacturer in San Jose, CA, to take our idea from a homemade piece of plastic and reshape it into what you guys see today.

So yes, in case you did not know, FanHorns was created as a safety device, so if you were ever lost, hurt, or injured, run into a predator, or whoever needs to be notified can hear you or get someone's attention. Over time, we have found tons of reasons and applications why a FanHorn would be the best thing to use, from walking at night with your dogs, using as a backup boat or vessel horn, unions going on strike, and the list goes on and on.

​

In 2024 We launched @FanTorch. Custom neon light-up chains & signs you can wear OR hang at home or in your office. Now click the Shop link in the drop-down menu. At the bottom of each page, it gives you the option to view more items. If you still cannot find the color combination or mounting accessory, send us a message. And yes, these FanHorns mount to almost anything: your bike, car, backpacks, helmets, cars—the list goes on.
