Robert “Rob” Powells is the co-founder and former president of the Rocket Fizz Soda Pop and Candy Shops (“Rocket Fizz”). Robert co-created the Rocket Fizz brand and opened up the first location in Camarillo, California in 2009. He built the company into 82 franchised locations across America before selling his interest to his two partners at the end of 2021. Robert has been featured in a dozen television shows, including being the boss on the CBS hit TV show, Undercover Boss (season 6, episode 7—Rocket Fizz). Robert and Jesse have been friends for years and one day they came up with the Nozzleman Pizza firefighter themed concept. Robert is a huge supporter of firefighters throughout America, and he believes Nozzleman Pizza will become a household name with hundreds or more locations opening up all across the country within the next few years.
A Nevada native, Jesse Corletto spent 20+ years as a firefighter working to protect and support his community. He served 12 years with the Clark County Fire Department in Las Vegas, Nevada before joining the Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue in Reno, Nevada in 2012. Now retired, Jesse is continuing his passion of entrepreneurship and sharing his love of the fire service experience with people from all walks of life. He is a proud father of four amazing children, and a husband to a beautiful and supportive wife. Jesse understands the importance of innovation and reinvention so when Rob and Jesse became friends they discovered they both share a passion for business. One day while Rob and Jesse were eating pizza together for lunch, the “business fire alarm went off” and the Nozzleman Pizza concept was born.
