Kaleb Winsheimer

Owner

KALEB WINSHEIMER

Kaleb Winsheimer started Great West Fire, Inc. in 2010 when he saw an opportunity to create a manufacturers rep company that functioned differently than all of the other rep groups in the industry. Kaleb has been working in the safety industry since the year 2000 when he left his corporate job to become a regional manager with a safety company manufacturer that made everything from industrial respiratory protection to thermal imaging for the Fire Service.  He immediately developed a passion for innovative lifesaving equipment.

His corporate roots helped him understand the need for solutions-based selling that has serviced his customers well for over two decades in the safety industry.  Kaleb believes in a simple strategy of being honest with the customer even when it presents the most difficult path.  The customers Kaleb works with understand and appreciate that even the most difficult news can be followed by the most effective solutions.  

Kaleb and his wife Amy are blessed with four beautiful daughters.  His favorite moments in life can be as simple as a movie night with the girls and our best friends, Hazel the English Bulldog, Jack the French Bulldog, and Rudy the Cat. 

Lastly, Kaleb has been in a long-term relationship with the game of Golf.  As of today, they have entered into an intensive counseling program to see if the relationship can be salvaged.
