About Us - MFC & HHPC
The Story
Mt Freedom Chimney and Hot Hammy Pepper Co are both single-owner, New Jersey based companies, operated by Adam Rincon. ... Writing biographies in the third-person is going to make me want to pop a tequila shot at 10:30 in the morning, and I haven't hit rock bottom yet. Let's try this again.
I was first introduced to chimney maintenance and repair service work in late July of 2003. I had just turned 20 years old, was one year outside of high school, and CLEARLY going places with my gas pumping job on the corner of Rte 10 and Center Grove Road in Randolph Twp. A friend from high school and his mother had stopped in to fill up, and as we're catching up he asks if I'm looking for a job (his mom was half owner of the chimney company he worked at). Sure? Why not - ANYTHING is better than standing outside in this summer heat! Heh...
I traded the my gas station's canopy and convenience store for ladders, rooftops, heavy lifting, and sunburn. My new coworkers took one look at my skinny ass, and were taking bets if I'd make it past two weeks. Rightly so, almost all of them were super-jacked Marines, and the others were giants well above my five and a half foot tall stumpy self. I stuck with it, and over the years moved around to a couple different chimney companies, here in Morris County. In June of 2011, I opened an LLC for MFC with the intent of being able to legitimately and legally supplement my income through weekend and part-time work, as I worked my regular job, and in between National Guard drill weekends. November of 2018 I made the transition into full-time self-employment, and left my last job. MFC is still fully operational five days a week, and while I've had to dial down repair projects from the services I offered, chimney sweeping and inspection services are always available. To date, some of my company's accolades are: never failing a municipal inspection for permitted work; never being involved in criminal or civil litigation involving clients/customers or investigative agencies/authorities; continual remittance of annual certificates of good standing from the state of New Jersey.
The Past
I enlisted in the NJ Army National Guard in February of 2006, and served for 14 years in a cavalry regiment, being discharged in 2020. I had originally enlisted to be an analyst, and work in military intelligence operations where I generated target packets and provided information dissemination tasks at battalion level. In late 2007, New Jersey was remitted the warning order that we were to mobilize the upcoming year, and participate in Operation Iraqi Freedom. I was reassigned from my headquarters unit to a line unit, being attached to the infantry. I traded my laptop for an M249 SAW for about a year. After coming home, I was reassigned back to my old unit, and in 2012 was promoted to sergeant. That summer and for the next two years, I was placed in charge of company level motorpool operations, and became proficient in military tactical vehicles. The rest of my enlistment was pretty quiet and unremarkable. I was honorably discharged, and was awarded disabled veteran's status.
The Future
I don't plan on ever giving up Redbull, but at some point I'm going to have to throw in the towel for this whole chimney thing. I can't even stomach the super-hot stuff that some of these "pepper heads" chase after, capping off at being able to eat just one, regular habañero. But I like hot sauce and I like to cook, and kitchens don't need a 30 foot ladder to get to (plus air conditioning is pretty nice). HHPC is a brand new company, and recipes and flavors are still in development. This new company also affords me the opportunity to both move and travel, two things high on anyone's list who's been stuck in the great Garden State for more than three decades. I won't retire from chimney sweeping and maintenance until I'm in my mid-50s, so I have a little while longer here. These next several years are going to be a transition period to continue to build up HHPC, while getting ready to either shut down or sell MFC. Early retirement from chimney service in my 50s while cooking up batches of peppers and hot sauce is the current goal I'm striving for, aiming to get myself a fancy, new zip code where there are palm trees and zero snow.
