Steady Through the Sonic Boom — Kent Gardner

Kent Gardner, President of SRS Building Products, has lived every chapter of the roofing industry. From a blue collar upbringing in Sugar Creek, to leading one of the largest distribution networks in North America, Kent’s story is about discipline, responsibility, and staying steady when everything around you speeds up.

In this conversation, Kent and Josh talk about the leadership lessons forged in the military, the early days of SRS, the realities of private equity, and why relationships still matter even as technology and AI reshape the industry. Kent also shares why he believes the roofing industry is on the verge of a major surge and what leaders should be preparing for now.

Kent’s journey is a reminder that steady, grounded leaders create the conditions for teams to thrive. You show up, you listen, you lift people up, and you stay focused on the long view.

The Long Game is hosted by Josh Sparks, Founder and CEO of Infinity Home Services, a platform on a mission to elevate what it means to be a contractor in North America. Each episode features real stories from industry leaders who are playing the long game by putting people first and letting the profits follow.
