Rooted in Central Illinois.
Built on results.

Hi, I'm Kent — and I built Plant Digital Roots because I believe local businesses deserve the same caliber of digital strategy that big brands pay agencies millions for. I grew up in and around Peoria, and I've spent over a decade leading digital product initiatives at a large Central Illinois company, managing customer-facing platforms that reach hundreds of thousands of people.

That background means I approach your website, SEO, and marketing the same way a seasoned product owner would: with clear goals, measurable outcomes, and a bias toward what actually moves the needle — not what looks good in a report.

When you work with Plant Digital Roots, you work directly with me. No account managers, no outsourcing, no runaround. Just a local professional who cares about your community because it's his community too.
