A History of Smeesters in Business


Thomas Smeester Thomas Smeester 

Scott’s grandfather was a successful Denver business man. During his career, Thomas created a well known insurance brokerage. For 15 years he had the most successful agency for the Security Mutual Life Insurance Co. out of Lincoln, NE. He started Roosevelt National Life Insurance Co. in the late ’60s. He usually had 10-15 salesmen working for him at one time and was an outstanding speaker and motivator.

“Grandpa always drove a Cadillac”, says Scott. “He was a tall and good looking man and his fun and loving personality drew you in. I remember he would visit our home and pull in the driveway in the big ol’ Caddi while my friends and I were playing and he’d reach into his pocket and give me some change. He was so cool!”

Scott’s father, Larry Smeester, spent over 40 years as a salesman in the freight industry. He officially retired in the spring of 2009 having sold for some of the most prominent companies in the industry, most recently a very positive relationship with Werner Enterprises for over 20 years, and received Salesman of the Year three times while there.

“Shortly after college graduation I spent 3 years following the footsteps of dad”, says Scott. “I took a sales position for a freight company and called on many of the same people dad had known for 25+ years. Without fail, whenever I met somebody who knew my father, they would genuinely tell me how great of a man he is – not because of sales or business – but because of the stuff that really matters in life.  Wow.”

In 1988, Scott’s only sibling Kerry founded the Denver based Meuran Design Group, a full service landscape architectural and planning firm. Since then he has continued to excel in project design, management, and construction. Much of Kerry’s project experience has consisted of site development and renovation of various commercial, institutional and industrial facilities throughout Colorado.
