Michael Don Ham

Co-Founder and President

Michael Don Ham, WELL AP, co-founded Refresh Smart Home, a NY based company, that pioneered the integration of healthy home solutions within the smart home industry. It grew to be the top rated Google Nest service provider in the U.S. and made the CE Pro Top 100. Ham recently co-founded Pure365, a spinoff from the global wellness brand Pure Wellness (pureroom.com) founded in 2003 and awarded the Cornell University Innovation Award as a top hospitality amenity that counts the Ritz Carlton, Marriott, Hilton and Hyatt as some of its hotel partners. Pure365 aims to bring to the residential market an entire ecosystem that integrates high performing air and water quality hardware with user friendly software that will provide real-time situational data, education on matters of health and wellness and automation to optimize one’s built environment.

Ham is equally passionate about regenerative agriculture and is a founding member of the Wild Orchard Tea Company which was created out of the desire to share the world’s purest and highest quality organic teas, backed by an unmatched regenerative and biodynamic cultivation process, with people across the globe to protect and maintain the health of our planet and everyone on it. Wild Orchard received the distinction of being voted the top traditional green tea at the 2019 Global Tea Championships.

Ham majored in Kinesiology and minored in Nutrition and has always had a passion for healthy living. He has a deep background in regenerative organic agriculture, indoor air quality, water quality and other important aspects of wellness technology for the home. Michael has been invited to speak about healthy home technology at IAQA, TecHome Builder Summits, Housing Innovation Alliance, GreenHome Institute and CES 2021 on effective ways to incorporate wellness into the built environment.
