About the Founder
Tom Enright starting selling light bulbs door-to-door in Chicago in 2001. Over the next 8 years, he moved to Fargo, North Dakota to become a manager for a national lighting company and married his wife Tammy. In 2009, as they started a family, Tom decided to start his own lighting company. Over the next 3 years, the business grew and he became a national lighting distributor.
In 2013, Tom and Tammy’s infant son was diagnosed with a rare and devastating form of seizures. For the next 2 years, they traveled for medical treatment while juggling their growing business. In the next few years to follow, they unexpectedly lost both of their fathers. Their son had a miraculous outcome and they searched for a way to give back. In 2015 the idea of Goodbulb was born.
