MEET OUR TEAM
in Beloit
HJ & Kristi Ackerman
HJ came to work with his dad in 1984. Kristi quit teaching and joined the business in 2010. HJ loves to do all his own ordering, finding the best prices for his customers, while Kristi keeps the books straight. They enjoy working together and visiting with all the new and returning customers.
Cameron Gormly
Cameron started with us in 2017. He is our muscle man! He stocks more feed than anyone and hauls out all the heavy things for customers. Cameron is one of our servicemen on the rental equipment, and continues to learn the in's and out's of the backroom. He is always willing to do whatever we ask!
Shelby Smith
Shelby has been working remotely for us since 2019. As HJ & Kristi's daughter, she grew up working along side her family in the Beloit store and all her in-store experience makes the remote work possible! She handles all accounts payable, payroll, social media accounts, and has a extensive background in HR. It's great she can be a part of the family business all the way from Australia!
Steve Donker
Steve has been working two days a week since 2014. He retired from the Feed Lot and just needed a little something to do. He is our organizer! He keeps the stock rooms clean and tidy, and stays busy all the time. We can call on him anytime to fill in where needed!
Bennett Bell
When Bennett joined our team in 2002, he brought a lot of farm and mechanical knowledge with him. He was raised on a farm and continues to farm in his off-time. He knows our rental equipment inside and out, and can repair almost anything! He has been a wonderful asset to our store.
Troy Hawk
Troy joined our team with years of experience in custom carpentry and sales. He joined our team to stay closer to home and to ditch his daily commute to the city, but brings his attention to detail to work every day. Nothing gets past this guy with managing inventory, displays, and back stock in our warehouse. We're also lucky enough to have him create a custom display pieces for the store!
in Osborne
Ryan Ayers
Ryan has been working in our Osborne store since February 2018. He is an extremely hard worker and has been promoted to manage our Osborne location. Not to mention, he loads all the heavy stuff, displays end caps, and is great with customers. There is nothing this young man won't do!
Dylan Noller
Dylan joined our team to be Ryan’s right hand man in Osborne. He carries a great amount of mechanic knowledge having attended NCK Tech in Beloit and brings a fresh perspective to our rental repair and service department.
He carries out, helps customers, and always helps create a positive workplace!
Michelle Waugh
Michelle has been working at our Osborne Store since 1999 and is a tremendous employee. She goes over and beyond what is necessary to make sure customers are well taken care of. Michelle knows a lot about hardware and she can mix & match paint like a pro!
Rebekah Ayers
Rebekah started in 2020 and has blended well with our other Osborne employees! As she also works hard and does what she needs to get the job done. We are excited to see her grow and become an integral part of the team.
