WADENA, MN — Homecrest Outdoor Living has added Kent Roeder of Roeder Ventures to its team of residential sales representatives. Roeder is based in the Rocky Mountain area and will represent Homecrest in Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Utah.
Roeder attended Colorado State University before graduating from the University of Iowa with a master’s degree in sports administration and marketing. After pursuing a career in athletics for a time, Roeder transitioned to the outdoor industry in the year 2000 when a colleague invited him to join their company, where he stayed for nearly 20 years.
During his time there, Roeder gained valuable experience and built strong relationships within the industry. He worked as a sales representative until 2006, when he was asked to help run the company. He became a national sales manager, then accepted the role of vice president for 11 years before moving back to Colorado in 2019 with his wife, Jill, to start their own rep agency.
Since then, they have expanded their product offerings to include both interior and exterior home products and outdoor living necessities such as fireplaces, patio furniture, grills, and fire pits. Roeder’s extensive sales and leadership experience and passion for living life outdoors make him an excellent addition to the Homecrest sales team.
