Kent Winder

Vice President

Kent is a fifth generation family member to be involved in the business. He was president at the time the investment with Dolphin II and Peterson Partners was made in 2004. Prior, Kent served as Executive VP from 1982-2004, and previously worked as route sales manager, in the Winder plant/bakery and on the farm.

It was Kent's experience on the farm that helped him realize the importance of pampering the cows. Give them the right kind of feed, space to graze, no drugs, and they will return a healthy product that is utterly good. (And that's no bull!)

Active in the community, Kent has served as a Taylorsville City councilman, chairman of ChamberWest chamber of commerce, a member of the West Valley City Cultural Arts Board, a director of Valley View Memorial Park, and as chairman of the board of trustees for Pioneer Valley Hospital. In 2007 he was elected as a trustee for the Granger-Hunter Improvement District, which oversees the water and sewer infrastructure for Utah's second largest city.

Kent attended both the University of Utah and Brigham Young University.

Mike Winder

Vice President of Sales

Mike is a sixth generation family member to be involved in the business and has been in his current capacity since April 2004. He served as business development manager for Utah’s second largest city from 2000-2004, where he was named one of “40 Rising Stars Under 40” by Utah Business magazine. From 1997-2000 he worked as Winder Dairy’s sales manager, leading the company to record growth.

Mike is a history junkie (maybe that's why he loves being at a 125 year-old family business). In addition to five published books, Mike’s writings have also appeared in various newspapers and periodicals. Check out his newest book at www.presidentsandprophets.com . In 2005 he was appointed by Gov. Huntsman to the Utah Board of State History, and in 2006 he began his service as a West Valley City councilman.

Mike holds an Honors BA and an MBA from the University of Utah, as well as a leadership certificate from Harvard. A lifelong addict of Winder chocolate milk, Mike has passed on his sweet tooth to his three children who think the vivacious vanilla milk and fresh lemonade are the best!
