Hi there! I’m Kelsey! I am a native Montanan and currently reside in Billings. I moved to Billings in 2014 shortly before my sophomore year of high school. Throughout my early life, I was always playing a sport; basketball, baseball, track, and (my favorite) volleyball. At Billings Senior High, I was a part of one 3rd place finish and two state championships for volleyball. After high school, I played volleyball at Carroll College in Helena. Now, I coach at Senior and play in my free time with some adult leagues in town! Being part of a team, leadership, and character development have always been passions of mine, ingrained in me at a very young age.

I really enjoy spending time with my 4 nieces (the 5th is on the way!!) and 2 nephews, 3 sisters and brother, and my parents. My family is deep-rooted and means the world to me! I have my own little family with my boyfriend, Justin, and our 4 four-legged “kids” (Sunnie 9, Douglas 1, Stanley 10, and Toulouse 2). There is never a dull moment at the “zoo!” I absolutely love to adventure with my family, finding good hikes and walks any time we can!

I am extremely excited to be a part of Wegner Roofing & Solar and feel blessed to have the opportunity to thrive here!

I grew up in a small community in North Idaho. I attended the University of Montana Western where I studied Secondary Education and played football. I’ve spent the last 14 years holding different roles within the mining industry. I have a wife (Ashley) of almost 15 years, 2 boys Tevis (14) and Ryker (11). My family and I enjoy the outdoors, fishing, hunting and hiking. Avid football fans in the fall and youth lacrosse enthusiasts in the spring.

Rex is a Texas native from the greater Houston area who landed in the upper midwest through a college basketball opportunity where he attended Trinity Bible College in Ellendale, ND. There he earned his bachelor’s degree while playing college basketball and football, but most importantly he met his beautiful ND born-and-raised wife Kristi along the way. They were married after graduation and that summer they moved south to take a coaching and teaching job in the Houston area where they lived for about 13 years prior to coming back north in the summer of 2020. In that time, Rex and Kristi were blessed with 3 boys and 2 dogs added to the family.

Along with his professional career as an educator and coach, Rex has added to his résumé with a Master’s degree in Administrative Leadership, experiences running his own personal training business in the Houston area, and several years working in leadership and sales service roles in corporate restaurants such as Chili’s and Chick-Fil-A. These educational and professional experiences have helped Rex develop a professional, servant-leadership mindset that puts others first and fits right in with the culture of the Wegner Roofing and Solar family where we do whatever it takes to provide 5-Star service for our community. Kristi is also a tremendous support and helps with many of the things we do for our clients as we oftentimes are a husband-wife duo on a job.

When not climbing on roofs, Rex enjoys spending time with family, playing and coaching sports with his sons, and trying his best to transition from city boy to country boy by fishing and hunting when he can.
