About Us & Our Story

I was born on a dairy farm in Wisconsin and then my family relocated to southern Iowa when I was three. Growing up on a dairy taught me good work values and how to stick to a job until it was finished correctly. After I graduated high school, I got a full-time job in a factory but after a while I realized I liked working outside. I then got a job building pole barns which I really enjoyed. However, when I was introduced to the Conklin roofing systems in 2018, I knew that starting a roof restoration business was what I really wanted to do.

I moved to central Illinois in 2019 and started Illini Commercial Roofing so I could serve the people of this great state. I really enjoy the opportunity to come alongside local business owners and help provide a quality alternative to a full roof replacement. I also like the problem-solving aspect of the job; every roof is different and needs a unique solution. I love to be able to provide my customers with a solution that many times they didn’t even think was possible.

In the summertime, when I am not on the roof, I enjoy spending time on the lake, fishing, camping, and traveling. In the wintertime, which is our off season, I focus much of my energy on helping other contractors scale and grow their businesses. And in my free time I like to get out and enjoy various winter activities like ice fishing, snowmobiling, and snowboarding. Thanks so much for considering Illini Commercial Roofing as your roofing contractor, I look forward to working with you soon!
