  • Brett Eiskina

    Brett is a born and raised Missourian with a passion for helping people. When he’s not helping people with their grows here at RVLS, he’s helping them with their gains at his sports performance gym. Brett has several years experience in both the business-to-business and business-to-consumer world and brings his experience to RVLS by helping with predominantly business development and sales, but don’t be surprised if you see him at a show or an event at one of our retail partners.

  • Alex Keith

    Alex grew up right here in Columbia, MO, but took a detour to the University of Minnesota for college—where he earned his degree and played football. These days, he’s back home, wrangling worms as the Vermiculture Overseer at Riverview Living Soils and pursuing a grad degree in Agroforestry at Mizzou, focusing on sustainable land use. When he’s not geeking out over soil health or tree-crop systems, you’ll find him digging in the garden with his wife and two kids, Cassius (6) and Penelope (5). A true nature lover at heart, Alex is all about working with the land—not against it. Whether he’s tending compost, studying agroforestry, or exploring the outdoors with his family, his mission stays the same: leave the earth better than he found it.

  • Ally Krekelberg

    Ally handles all things visual at Riverview Living Soils. With a background in product and UX/UI design, she helps shape how RVLS looks and feels, from our packaging to our website. When she’s not behind a screen, you can usually find her out in the garden.
