We are excited to announce our new National Sales Manager, Brent LaPorte. Brent comes to Rooftop Anchor with 21 years of experience working in the fall protection industry.  He has gained a vast amount of knowledge about the product and the industry while he worked with Pro-Bel Enterprises. He initially started in their inspections department and helped them open their first remote office in Ottawa, Ontario, and eventually was their regional sales manager in the southeast region of the US (Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, and the Carolinas).  
 
“I am thrilled to announce Brent as the newest addition to the Rooftop Anchor team.  I have personally known Brent for nearly ten years and during that period considered him a dear friend and worthy competitor.  He was the first and only person on our radar when we determined the need to bring aboard an experienced individual to oversee our national sales operation.  He is a very talented individual with a great wealth of knowledge and experience.  I also respect him tremendously for his integrity, ethics and strength of character.  I can’t wait for our fine network of reps to meet him and in turn to have Brent meet our reps,” states Kynan Wynne.
  
“Brent is a key piece of the management puzzle we are putting together. In order to sustain and grow this business, he will play an integral part in our strategic growth plan as well as give us the experience we so desperately need.  I can’t wait to get to know him and his wife better and bring them into our big Rooftop Anchor family.  Brent has made a major financial and personal change to come on board with us, all of which I am very grateful for.  I have been very impressed with his integrity and energy through the hiring process.  I look forward to working together,” states Nate Sargent.
 
Brent and his wife, Suzane, live in Ontario Canada, which is where he will continue to work. They have two children, Angele (13-year old daughter) and Eric (10-year old son). Brent loves to play hockey, coach Lacrosse, and he enjoys camping with his family. He will soon be releasing his first novel, Hope Burned, in October 2010.
