Kenn M. Hartle

 Kenn M. Hartle is the oldest son of Max F. Hartle and Beverly Dawn Hartle.

Kenn graduated from Utah State University with a Bachelors of Science degree in Business Administration.  While in college Kenn used the professional training he was receiving to become employed in a management position involving the supervision of approximately 75 employees.  After graduating from college Kenn worked for ten years in the manufacturing industry and spent five of those years as the general plant manager of a textile facility that employed approximately 120 people mass producing commercial products for use in the service industries.   During his tenure there the company went from operating in the red to where a substantial profit was being made.  Much of the turn-around in the company was because of his expertise to help evaluate and streamline production processes, as well as his people skills in organizing a staff of 120 individuals into a “team” of 120 members.   He left that position to accept a position with the State of Utah in the Human Services department, where he was involved  in legal enforcement.  With this position he worked with various state agencies collecting and organizing information, and  he has been required to testify and validate his collected information in court.   Even while serving in these positions, he showed a personal interest in the success of the Max Hartle Company, and was always there to help when needed doing appraisals and providing his input since the company started business in 1989. With the continued expansion of the Company, Kenn is now involved full time with the business.   Kenn is being groomed to eventually take over the operation of the business when it becomes necessary for Max to withdraw from day to day operations.
