Why Budget Blinds of the Southern Twin Cities

Terry Sill is the CEO and owner of our family business. Today he works part time and uses his experience to guide our leadership team.

Terry believes great service starts with great people. He makes sure we hire a team that takes good care of every customer. What he enjoys most is watching our company and our people grow.

He wants every customer to feel heard and to love what they chose. His own home has motorized roller shades in the living room and top-down bottom-up honeycomb shades in the bedrooms.

Away from work, you'll find Terry golfing, boating or with his eight grandchildren. He's a big baseball and college football fan.

John Reinken is our COO and co-owner. He guides daily operations across all of our offices.

From sales and scheduling to installation and service, John keeps our teams connected and on track. He believes great service comes from teamwork, clear communication and attention to detail. His goal is a smooth experience for you from start to finish.

John is a fan of motorized shades. His home has them, along with shutters. Outside, zip shades turn the patio into a shady spot to relax.

Outside of work, John enjoys golfing, fishing, boating and time outdoors with family. He never misses a college football Saturday.

Kevin Sill is our CFO and co-owner. He works behind the scenes on accounting, HR and IT.

His goal is simple: make things easier for our customers. He finds what isn't working and fixes it. That means clear communication, an easy process and window coverings you'll love.

His favorite product? Motorized shades. His home has motorized cellular and solar shades, plus shutters.

In the summer, you'll find Kevin out on the water with his family. He drives the boat for a water ski show team. He also cheers on his kids at dance and loves college sports.

Hudson Whitney runs our installation team and our commercial work.

Hudson built the way we install, so every job goes smoothly from the first measurement to the last bracket. He also leads installer training. Every installer learns to do the job right and treat your home with care.

His favorite products are anything automated. At home, he has motorized TriLight shades.

On a day off, you'll find him on the golf course.

Julie Arford leads and coaches our Design Consultants. Her goal is simple: every in-home visit should feel easy, helpful and personal.

Julie has spent her career in window coverings, including time on the manufacturer side. She builds the training and tools our consultants use every day, so you get the right recommendation the first time. Each month, every consultant also spends a morning with our install crews, watching their designs go up in real homes.

Her favorite product? Motorized shades. Hers open and close on a schedule, whether she's home or not.

Julie and her husband are serious DIYers. They have finished whole rooms of their home themselves, built-ins and all. She's also a big baseball and football fan.
