Bob Leistiko
Sales Support
I have been an employee of Yetzer for over 20 years, and have been in the flooring industry for 35 years. As our in-home flooring estimator, I am responsible for coming out to your home to review and measure your rooms to ensure the successful installation of your new flooring. I enjoy going out to customers’ homes and businesses to help assess what is needed for their projects and make recommendations along the way.
In my free time I enjoy playing Sheephead and watching Minnesota sport teams.

Brent Oney
Sales Manager - Flooring
I am very excited to have joined the Yetzer Team in 2014. With years of experience in project management, estimating and overseeing a sales team, I am responsible for the day to day operations of our Flooring store. My experience in the flooring industry includes everything from smaller home renovations to large scale commercial flooring projects. I love getting to know our customers and helping them through the entire process from product selection through successful installation in their home.
I attended Mankato State University and proudly served in the United States Army. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. And as they would attest to, I’m always open to a round or two of golf.

Hi! my name is Kaileen. I joined Yetzers while taking college courses at Century College pursuing a degree in interior design. While I don't have as much experience as some, I do have a few years of sales and design experience under my belt.

When I'm not working or spending time with my family, I enjoy painting and working on puzzles.

Kristopher Schwabe
Sales Manager - Forest Lake
Hi! My name is Kristopher Schwabe. I am the “new guy” at Yetzers but I am not new to the world of furniture and design. I have spent the last two decades assisting people in expanding their creative side and showing them the furnishing options available to make their visions come to life. I have been told I have a unique edgy style that is also acceptable to bring home to mom. (It’s common to see me on my motorcycle wearing a wrinkle-free 3-piece suit). I have lived in North Branch, where I raised my 2 boys, since 2002. My home has made the journey with us and has been the template to many personal design “masterpieces” (along with a few failures, aka: learning experiences). When I’m not golfing, snowboarding, or playing with the latest tech gadgets, I’m out and about looking for inspiration to better myself and I always rise to any opportunity to make a difference, big or small. I graduated college with a business degree in 2017 and am currently sharpening my skills as an advanced interior design student. I am excited to be part of the Yetzer family, and as a Forest Lake native I’m excited to bring the Yetzer experience to my home town. Come say HI! I look forward to working with you.

Lynette Wiest
Executive Assistant
My name is Lynette and I'm not officially employed by Yetzer Home Store, but I'm married to the owner so l'm more of a cheerleader, greeter, and educator. I'm very passionate about what Yetzer Home Store can do for you. Before shopping at Yetzer Home Store I thought when you went to a furniture store all that was available for sale was already on the floor. I didn't know I could get exactly what I wanted or help if I didn't know what I wanted! I love that Yetzer Home Store employs designers to help you create what you are envisioning for your home. They offer FREE In-Home and In-Store design! They not only offer help with furniture design, but also incredible accessories that put the final touch on a room. Shopping at Yetzer Home Store is a unique and special experience compared to other furniture stores. They truly care that you get exactly what you are looking for without settling for less!

Stacey DeLambo
Sales and Design - Forest Lake
Hello, my name is Stacey. I come to Yetzers Home Store with over 23 years of sales, service and design. I started with selling kitchens to builders and remodelers in 1991.
Through my years in this field, I’ve learned 2 basic reasons for my success. First providing a solid foundation of product knowledge and second providing strong customer service from beginning to well after the sale.
My passion is meeting new people, old friends and acquaintances to find a special and unique look for the most important spaces we are in… our homes! The best for me would be collaborating you find a comfortable and useful space unique to only you.
I am a mother to 2 awesome college aged children. I have resided in Ham Lake, Minnesota for 25 years. Along with working with my customers, I enjoy traveling and playing poker in a local league.
I would love to meet and start creating a fabulous look for your home. If you’re simply looking to update one particular piece of furniture… I’m in for that as well!
Stop in and visit me at our Forest Lake location…this could be fun!

Thomas Wiest
Sales and Operations
Born in Minnesota, grew up in South Dakota, graduate of Northern State University in Aberdeen, I’m an author, an Eagle Scout, a LIFETIME FITNESS fan, a Dad to two great kids and a long-time Shakopee resident. I’ve been in retail my entire life, some 30+ years, working for many diverse retailers and most of that time in multi-unit management roles. When it concerns standard business operating procedures, training, communications, disciplines, development, human resources, operations, and sales - basically if you want to get from point A to point B, I can help. When you think about retail though, it really does not matter what you sell, retail is really creating and building strong and positive relationships with people. I enjoy helping our customers solve their needs, helping our team spread our wings and evolve into the best home furnishings and flooring company that we are meant to be, supporting their passions in and out of work and supporting our local community and city events. Please enjoy and share your experience at Yetzer!

Todd Willsey
Sales Support – Delivery, Repair and Installation
With over thirty years living and working near Waconia, I am happy to be the rookie on the Yetzer team. My wife and I have relied on Yetzer over the years so when I saw a job posting, it didn't take long to chase after it. My wife's family has roots here going back several generations and I am a transplant from Kentucky so I understand the culture of long-rooted families and those who are just settling in. I enjoy meeting people, traveling and using my abilities to help people. So whether you say Good Morning, Guten Tag or Buenas Dias I got you covered!

Wade Rolf
Sales and Design
I started working for Yetzer in 1987 after receiving a business/marketing degree. When I started here I simply had intentions of completing my education. I soon realized that this wasn’t just another small town furniture store but rather, a store that took pride in customer service and truly wanted to help the customer achieve their home furnishing goals. I am proud to say that I have been part of keeping this tradition going ever since. In fact, I was honored for this work by being named Salesperson of the Year in 2004 by the National Home Store Association for the Upper Midwest. Needless to say 29 years later I’m still here to help to make your house truly your home.
