About Arc
Arc Outdoor was founded on a simple idea: the best outdoor services companies in Minnesota got that way because of owners who built great brands and loyal customers. They deserve a partner who acts like an operator, works like an owner, and lives in the same state.
Co-Founder & CEO
I've owned P&Ls and built teams across 15 years with companies such as General Mills and Jack Link's. I'm a builder at heart, at my best in growth businesses, close to customers and crews. The focus never changes: win great customers, hire great people, and work to earn their loyalty. Lives in Edina, MN with my wife and three kids.
Co-Founder & CFO
I've spent more than a decade investing in and partnering with founders to build durable businesses. I'm at my best when working with teams to win by executing against a shared vision. I'm a proud, long-suffering, Minnesota sports fan and live in Edina with my wife and two boys.
Why Minnesota
Minnesota isn't a market to us. It's the neighborhood. Our kids go to school here. Our neighbors are the ones getting their lawns mowed and driveways plowed. And the owners we partner with are people we run into at the grocery store.
That's a feature, not a footnote. Being here means we show up in person. We answer the phone the same day. And we're accountable in a way an out-of-state fund never can be.
Our Values
The work is hard — early mornings, long days, every kind of Minnesota weather. Effortless is what it feels like for the customer. They don't chase us. They don't wonder if we showed up. They don't worry whether the gate got closed or the job got finished right. We carry that weight so they don't have to.
It's a promise to our team, too: we'll listen to you the same way we listen to our customers, invest in the tools and training that make the work easier, and keep finding ways to get better, together.
01
We treat people right — honest, fair, and in it together.
02
We take responsibility for the result and finish the job right.
03
We move first and solve problems on the spot to keep things moving.
04
We keep learning, improving, and sharing better ways to work.
These aren't new rules — they're words for what good already looks like here. We hire for them, train to them, and recognize the people who live them.
Our Community Commitment
Every brand in the family is measured on the same three things: how their crews feel about coming to work, how their customers feel about the work, and how the community they operate in is a little better because they're in it.
