Our Team

After a short stint with Rent One, the original ownership was ready to move on and the opportunity presented itself for Larry to purchase the company—and under his ownership, Rent One has been prospering ever since! He’s always aimed to provide a workplace where employees play an important role in the lives of their clients and co-workers, while proving invaluable to the company itself. In his own words, “attitude will determine your altitude!”

Trent joined the Rent One family in 1988 as an account manager. As Rent One grew, so did Trent’s responsibilities.

Today, he is president of Rent One and strives to create the same career opportunities for current and future Rent One employees that the company presented to him!

The most surprising part of his journey:
“I had no management experience when I joined Rent One. I was going to school to be a welder.”

Hobbies:
Boating, Floating, Family Fun

Dave came to Rent One over 5 years ago bringing with him a multitude of experience in the financial realm.

Today, he is Rent One’s vice president of sales and marketing!
