Story behind Thrust Wellness

Thrust Wellness was founded by four best friends from Jupiter, Florida who shared a passion for health, wellness, and an active lifestyle. Frustrated by the jittery side effects, crashes, and artificial ingredients found in most energy products on the market, they set out to create something better a clean, all-natural blood flow energy drink that delivers real energy without compromise.

Why was the company started?

The founders experienced firsthand the negative side effects of caffeine-heavy energy drinks and traditional pre-workouts anxiety, crashes, and dependency. They wanted to create a healthier alternative that supported energy and performance naturally, using ingredients backed by science rather than stimulants.

Chief Operating Officer

Michael Flora

My involvement in the company stems from a deep-rooted passion for science, particularly in the field of biology. From a young age, I have been driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact in the health and wellness space. This passion has guided me toward applying scientific knowledge to the development of functional wellness products that support overall well-being.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences from Florida Atlantic University and am continuing to further my education. Through both my academic journey and entrepreneurial efforts, I remain committed to bridging science and innovation to create products that positively influence health.

Two years ago, my brother and I set out to create an energy drink. What began as a simple idea quickly evolved as his path in biology deepened earning a degree in Biological Sciences and continuing on to pursue his masters degree.

Through that journey, our perspective shifted. We started questioning the role of caffeine and the long list of artificial ingredients found in most energy drinks. We knew there had to be a better way. We didn’t want to follow the crowd in an already saturated market we wanted to build something different. Something cleaner. Something more intentional.

With my background in food distribution, we had a unique advantage: the ability to not only create the product, but to control how it gets into people’s hands. That vertical integration allowed us to bring THRUST to life the right way from formulation to shelf

Chief Executive Officer

Connor Dunnam

I began my journey in the supplement industry right out of college, launching my first brand in my early 20s and gaining firsthand experience in formulation, branding, and what truly drives results. Now, in my late 20s, I’ve taken everything I’ve learned and teamed up with close friends in Jupiter, Florida to start Thrust Wellness.

Together, we set out to build something different, more than just another supplement company, but a wellness brand rooted in clean ingredients, transparency, and real performance. Thrust is a reflection of our combined vision and experience, bringing a smarter, more intentional product to the market for those who live an active, health-focused lifestyle.

Chief Marketing Officer

Benjamin Spiro

Growing up outside of Philadelphia with a father who owned his own business, I learned early what it takes to build something from the ground up. That entrepreneurial foundation, paired with a passion for media, led me to the University of Miami where I graduated with a double major in Psychology and Marketing, a minor in Biology, and a Fine Arts concentration in Photography.


After college, I joined Compass Real Estate as a broker while also leading the marketing, media, and social presence for our team. Eventually, I stepped away to pursue my own path, spending a year as a private chef before going all in on my true calling: building a media company from scratch. That was five years ago, and I haven't looked back.


Since then, I've worked with an ever growing roster of clients, managed social media accounts across industries, and collaborated alongside viral influencers on content that has collectively earned over 750 million views across platforms. When the Thrust Wellness team approached me about the CMO role, the answer was immediate. I'm here to help this company grow through strategic, data driven marketing where every piece of content serves a measurable objective.
