Andrew Kent

With the overall perspective that only experience and attention to detail can bring, Andrew focuses on connecting investors, construction teams, financing partners, architects, engineers, designers, sales teams and marketing for a smooth development process and the desired result for all parties.

Matt Sneyd

Co-Founder

At 19 years old, Matt partnered with his father and created a real estate investment company that started reviving homes all around the Salt Lake Valley. Matt believes in “copying genius, not creating mediocrity” and has learned the real estate business from the industry’s best. Matt’s use of data analysis for property acquisitions gives him a competitive edge. He also specializes in conceptual design work for remodel properties. Matt’s continued education and understanding of the real estate market allows him to hold the competitive advantage clients deserve.
As a well-rounded, young techy: he brings the fire. With knowledge in investments, buying, selling, renting, commercial and street, you’d probably be surprised to know that that he’s a true outdoorsman, who dips his toes in almost everything our beautiful state of Utah has to offer. He’s the guy that “knows a guy” for everything. Matt’s motto is “work hard, play harder.” His personal and business foundation is based upon the principles of honesty, integrity and respect. These values, along with his extensive market knowledge foster the continued success of Rooted and Co.

Ryan Struthwolf

Acquisitions & Underwriting

Ryan comes from a diverse business background with various experiences. Early on, as a self-taught underwriter, he was able to complete a handful of apartment rehabs and development projects, which has snowballed into his current role at Rooted & Co.

In 2013, Ryan started his first company in the food/beverage industry. Three years and many lessons later, as his first company was thriving, Ryan expanded his business operations with the acquisition of two additional beverage ventures, and, shortly thereafter, a small restaurant. He worked on and grew the operation until he sold them in late 2017 to focus entirely on real estate and development.

Louis Monaco

Financial Controller

Louis has a background in mechanical engineering from the University of Utah and has spent much of his career working in the medical field. In 2015 he began investing in real estate. After receiving his MBA from BYU in 2017, his passion and excitement for the industry grew and he hasn’t looked back since.

He has an aptitude for analyzing numbers and working diligently to make sure that the deals make financial and strategic sense for all parties. He values trust and developing new relationships with investors/partners.
