Keith Richardson is President of both Arizona Fireplaces and AF Distributors – industry leaders in retail and 2-step distribution centers that serve the southwest. Under Keith’s direction, the companies represent the largest combined part of the family business. The other related companies include AF Steel Fabricators (fabricators and installers of structural steel in metro Phoenix for large commercial and residential builders), Modern Flames, LLC (manufacturer and inter-national brand of electric fireplaces), and Grand Canyon Gas logs (manufacturer of gas logs and burners).

With over 140,000 sf of warehouse space, their inventory ranks second-to-none.
