BIOGRAPHY

Ken Krengel, a natural entrepreneur, started his journey early working in the family’s kitchen and bath dealership. Alongside the family business, Ken explored other industries, bringing unique products to market such as the "Red Rumbler" slide for parks and ski resorts, "Saucer Golf" frisbee golf course, and vinyl siding cleaners. In the 1980s, Ken revolutionized the Kitchen and Bath Industry by introducing computer-aided design (CAD) for designers, earning him a place in the National Kitchen & Bath Association Hall of Fame in 2005.

Even after retiring as an accomplished manufacturers' representative, Ken's creativity and entrepreneurial spirit persisted. At 80 years old, he is now a co-founder of Yowel, an eco-friendly alternative to paper towels.
