Wirt McKee

Founder

About Me

Wirt isn’t just our founding father, he is our actual father too, and our “Papa” eight times over. He has seemingly lived three separate lives. First, as a farmer in North Central Oklahoma where he met and married his high school sweetheart, Jeanie. After a few rough seasons on the farm, Wirt and Jeanie moved to Kansas, where Wirt began a 14 year stint as a pastor. As the season of his life began to change again he felt a calling to move to Mountain Home, Arkansas in 2001. He founded his first business, “Repairs by Wirt”, in 2001 and has been the cornerstone of all of our success ever since.

Skills

Farmhand Finesse 85%
Pastoral Persuasion 90%
Business Bravado 100%

Wirt can still wrangle a stubborn cow and coax a decent yield from even the most temperamental soil. Don’t underestimate Papa!

Wirt’s sermons were legendary for their folksy charm and ability to move hearts, even the stoniest ones.

Wirt may have started with “Repairs by Wirt,” but his entrepreneurial spirit has grown into a thriving company. This man can build a business empire faster than you can say “Mountain Milling Company!”
