Ken J. Boegeman, Jr., CSP
Having developed a passion for snow and ice management over the last nearly three decades, Ken has truly become an expert in all aspects of the snow and ice management industry. Ken began his career in the snow and ice management industry clearing sidewalks and driveways as a kid (see photo to the left of Ken in the 1980s). These days Ken is President of Swinter Group, Inc. and dispatches a crew of nearly 600 people during a snow event in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area alone. Ken also works with other snow removal contractors and attorneys providing consulting services in 30+ states. Additionally, Ken has developed and is President of SG Advantage, LLC, which provides systems and software to the snow removal industry, and he works with contractors throughout the country.
Ken is a one stop shop for anything and everything relative to the snow and ice management industry. He has provided consulting and in-field services for international facilities management corporations as well as local property owners / managers, and has personally managed snow removal services throughout the country. Ken has attained both the Advanced Snow Manager (ASM) and Certified Snow Professional (CSP) designations from the Snow and Ice Management Association (SIMA). The ASM program has four courses and focuses on in-field best practices, science and chemical knowledge. The CSP is a higher level certification. Although SIMA has thousands of members, less than 250 have attained the CSP Designation. CSP testing covers broader fields such as snow and ice science, operations, techniques and subcontracting. Ken has Snow & Ice Management expert and consulting experience in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Nicole B.
Nicole is the First Lady of Swinter Group, Inc., and she wears many hats at the office. Her unofficial, yet fun, title around the office is Head of Stuff, Things, & Processes. Her main role is to keep the different departments working together efficiently and effectively, but she also acts as Controller and manager of HR, Marketing, and IT as time allows.
Nicole was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri and graduated from Truman State University with a B.S in Business/Marketing and a minor in Visual Communications. She has always enjoyed being both creative and analytical. Before working at Swinter, she dabbled in both media planning and accounting at local advertising agencies, and she honed her many hatted skills at a construction company. In her spare time, she loves to draw portraits and either listen to or join in with her musically inclined family. |
Brent R.
Brent started his career in general construction and new home development. While working in this industry, he was tasked with clearing snow for the properties that were owned by the company. At the young age of 16, he found himself behind the wheel of a plow truck for the first time and loving it.
Brent worked his way up from laborer to skilled trades to foreman and finally lead sales/account manager for a contracting company. However, he never left his love of snow and continued to add properties and roads to his portfolio. Over the summer of 2018, Brent joined Swinter Group as an Account Manager. He is currently in charge of all new snow removal customers and deicing/snow removal equipment sales. Brent loves the ability to think and talk snow year round! In this role, Brent enjoys having the chance to interact with contractors in the field as well as present to a group of property managers or business owners. Brent's wife, Mollie, and his 4 children keep him busy when he's not thinking snow! |
Elizabeth H.
Elizabeth Hensley was born in Southern Illinois and moved to St. Louis after attending Southern Illinois University Carbondale for Kinesiology. After college she worked in two very different environments: a mortgage bank and a child care center.
Elizabeth came to Swinter Group to share her talents of organization and communication that she honed both in the banking industry and working with children. She began her career with Swinter as our Receptionist, but as the company and her responsibilities grew, she needed to step away from the front desk. Elizabeth currently handles Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and some Human Resources responsibilities for Swinter... and she does it all with a smile! On weekends, you can expect to find Elizabeth doing something outside; whether it be hiking, boating, climbing, camping, or simply sitting outdoors and listening to music. |
