Author Information

Brett Ruiz was born with an entrepreneurial spirit. From a young age, he knew that the status quo and the traditional career path weren't a fit for him. After a series of false starts and failures, Brett founded what is now Medina Exteriors & Remodeling + Simply Distinct Kitchens and Baths.

With perseverance and a commitment to innovation, he has learned how to build a thriving, self-managed business. Today, he uses that experience to mentor entrepreneurs as they launch and grow their businesses.Brett lives in Ohio with his wife, Deanna (who is also the CFO of his company), and their four children. When he isn't in the office or on a sale call, Brett enjoys making the most of his time with his family.
