191 Millennium - Eighteenth Edition ENTREPRENEURS Brett A. Roes Sr. is a pastor and entrepreneur who has found more than 12 years of success as the president and chief executive officer of Eagle Christian Tours LLC. Founded in 2012, the company offers high-quality coach tours and group travel logistics for church groups, senior citizens associations, sports teams, and more. The company began after Mr. Roes began planning charter bus trips for his church’s senior social group, featuring unique locations in Maine and throughout the Northeastern and Southwestern United States. The success of the trips led Mr. Roes and his wife to purchase and retrofit their first vehicle, and the company soon expanded its offerings to include chartered coach services. Eagle Christian Tours has grown to become the top company in its class in North America and is a member of the highly exclusive International Motorcoach Group (IMG), becoming the youngest company in the organization’s history to receive an invitation to join. The company has been featured three times in customer spotlights by motorcoach manufacturer Prevost and has been the recipient of numerous industry awards for service. Prior to opening Eagle Christian Tours, Mr. Roes enjoyed a robust career in corporate leadership with the Kraft Heinz Company, beginning in 1989 as a sales representative and rising to become a category manager by the time of his departure in 1997. Mr. Roes holds a Bachelor of Arts in music and Bible theology from Bryan College and began his career working with Roes Rigging, a family business. His passion for entrepreneurship and love of the arts was sparked by his childhood experiences traveling and performing with his family and his time spent managing their business ventures, and he strives to continue this legacy by making Eagle Christian Tours a multigenerational business. He credits his success to the strength and guidance that his faith gives him, and to his emphasis on treating both customers and employees with the utmost respect. BRETT A. ROES SR.
