Fire Watch Foundry was founded on the belief that real value is built, not printed. As a veteran-owned small business, we carry forward the mindset of standing guard over quality, integrity, and purpose.  Our mission is to craft dependable copper products that reflect hard work, resilience, and the enduring strength of tangible assets, while honoring the spirit of service that built this company. 

Parker Kilbourne is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, aviation professional, and founder of Fire Watch Foundry. After serving as a 6176 MV-22 Osprey Crew Chief with two deployments to the Middle East, he earned his bachelor’s degree in Aviation and Business from Western Michigan University and is currently pursuing graduate studies in finance through Harvard’s program.

A licensed pilot working in Department of Defense aircraft avionics, Parker built Fire Watch Foundry on the principles of discipline, integrity, and tangible value. Above all, his foundation is his family — his wife, Madison, and their son, Callahan,  who inspire his commitment to building something strong, honest, and lasting.
