Team Wentz is made up of husband and wife team Rob and Sandra Wentz, who are seasoned entrepreneurs. Their business journey began in 2008 with a sporting goods sales agency, representing distinguished outdoor brands such as Columbia Sportswear, Merrell, Wigwam socks, Bula, Ouray Sportswear, and Northside footwear. Operating across 11 states—from the Great Lakes to the mid-Atlantic—Sandra and Rob managed a dedicated team of 6 employees alongside their involvement.

In a short 8 years, the Wentz’s grew the business from start-up to an impressive revenue of over $4.5 million. Rob and Sandra strategically decided to exit the business when online retail sites became too much for their small independent retailers to handle. 

These hands-on experiences have provided Rob and Sandra with insights they are committed to sharing with the businesses they work with. Whether you are a current business owner seeking guidance or an aspiring entrepreneur, you can consider them trusted partners on your journey.
