American Certified employs 10, including seven full-time employees.

The e-retailer is an Amazon associates store, which means Amazon gets an 8.5 percent commission on every item purchased, and also handles the billing and customer service.

Weinberger, 59, leads a team of six full-time employees, based at Callowhill coworking space Venturef0rth.
