Rolf couldn’t find a local trade exchange to join—so he built one. Since founding Local Trade Partners in 2009, he’s been helping fellow business owners turn “We have extra” into “We could use that!”

With Eureka Pizza and PopUp Drink Thru keeping his entrepreneurial wheels turning, Rolf knows small business life firsthand. He’s a Certified Trade Broker and Certified Trade Executive who loves helping local businesses succeed.

His restaurant roots run deep: he’s received the Arkansas Restaurant Association’s “Salut au Restaurateur” award, served as its President, and served as Chairman of the Board of the Arkansas Hospitality Association.

An LSU grad (Geaux Tigers!), Eagle Scout, and longtime Rotarian, Rolf calls Fayetteville home with his wife, Ceri, and their three children. Away from work, he’s usually cooking, cycling, lifting weights, or getting lost in a good book.
