After years of working in logistics, HVAC, and construction, Carl Hein was ready for a change. He researched becoming a franchisee and after deciding it was the right move, he opened Dryer Vent Wizard® of St. Paul in Farmington, Minnesota, in 2007. The change paid off and his business has grown significantly since opening.

Carl takes pride in working alongside his family, including wife, Judy; seeing the friends and family he hires succeed; and watching the glowing customer reviews stack up. He has always moved through his life with the motto, “God first, then family, then career.” For Carl, this has been a guiding compass that has helped him grow his franchise and will hopefully keep the Hein’s on the road exploring the country in their RV a little longer.

Gayle Patrick comes from a family of entrepreneurs, but this isn’t how she started her professional career. An Army veteran, she later worked as a corporate executive, but it was always her intention to one day work for herself. After doing research on service-based businesses, Gayle knew she wanted to invest in a business with a simple model and high net margins in a niche market. Dryer Vent Wizard® checked all the boxes, so she tapped into her entrepreneurial genes and opened a franchise in Newport News, Virginia, in 2019, funding it with her own capital.

Gayle says being a franchise owner has allowed her to finally have the work-life balance she needed. Outside of work, she enjoys mentoring other franchisee hopefuls and giving back to the community.

"I enjoy the camaraderie with other franchise owners and the genuine desire to help each other succeed. It is like an extended family of experts."
