Tom “Huck” Finn, a powerlifter, and Karen “Mrs. Barbell” Finn, a screen printer, established HFB Apparel in 2018 and HFB Supplements in 2020. Tom Finn is recognized for his powerful lifts, achieving a personal best total of 2028.2 lbs in an IPA competition in 2015, competing in the 220 lb class. He has consistently placed first in various powerlifting federations, including WRPF, UPA, RPS, WUAP, and APF, from 2013 to 2020. These competitions took place across the USA, in locations such as Florida, Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin.

Beyond powerlifting, Tom Finn maintains a unique professional life as a correctional officer, a role he has discussed in interviews, highlighting the mental demands of the job. This aspect of his life contrasts with his public persona, which often involves strength stunts and a humorous, irreverent approach to fitness and lifestyle on social media. Karen Finn, alongside her husband, is integral to the HFB brand, where she is primarily responsible for the production of their clothing line. The apparel features humorous designs created by both Tom and Karen, with much of the screen printing and manufacturing done by Karen.

The brand has expanded from apparel to include supplements, formulated with high-stim ingredients, and offers Alpha Training Systems, providing individualized online coaching and template programs. Their work has garnered attention from various media outlets, including mentions on MTV, ESPN, Fox Sports, and Muscle & Fitness. Through HFB, Tom and Karen combine their passion for strength sports and entrepreneurial endeavors, engaging with a community that appreciates their robust lifting, entertaining content, and dedication to their self-made brand.
