JT is the founder of Maven Advantage, Inc., a roofing and storm restoration firm that helps homeowners successfully navigate the insurance claim process for one of the most important aspects in life: having a sound and solid roof over one’s head. The apex of JT’s passion and vision is helping others while transforming some of the negative stereotypes associated with the roofing industry–all while creating strong, reliable “Mavens.”

Before devoting himself fulltime to Maven, JT graduated from the University of North Dakota with a Bachelor of Science degree in Commercial Aviation and became a commissioned officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. During this period, JT attended flight school, became an F-18 fighter pilot, went on to become a Company Commander, and served on the strategic level as an Operations Officer in the Afghanistan area of operations. This background has proven invaluable to Maven’s core value system and subsequent existing company culture. In addition to guiding and leading this rapidly growing start-up company, JT is a world class competitor in living room wrassling – honing and developing this skill set within this arena on a daily basis with his 6-year-old sparring partner and son, Axel. Welcome to the jungle. He is happiest spending time with his wife, ToniRae, his son, Axel, and his two daughters Savaya and Hartley.

Kent Panovec serves as the Chief Operating Officer and Owner at Maven Roofing. With a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Project Management, Kent spent 15 years leading high-performing sales teams in the IT industry before making the transition to Maven.

Driven by Maven’s higher purpose and mission, Kent joined the company to be part of something bigger—an organization committed to growth, excellence, and community impact. He has a deep passion for mentoring and coaching, pushing individuals beyond their comfort zones to achieve goals they never thought possible. His leadership style is defined by accountability, high expectations, and a relentless drive for success.

Outside of work, Kent is a dedicated family man. He and his wife are parents to Lincoln (7), and twins Waylon and Raelynn (4). When he’s not focused on scaling and growing Maven, you’ll likely find him attempting to wrangle his energetic kids—a challenge that often proves tougher than running a business.

Joe enjoyed a 20-year career in Special Operations as a Marine Raider and Infantry Marine serving in leadership positions in each command and in the joint environment. As he transitions from his military career of planning, instructing, and conducting operations he’s excited to put those skills toward MAVEN.

With a Bachelor’s Degree in Education and six years of hands-on customer service experience, she brings a unique blend of teaching, communication, and people skills to the table. When she’s not scouting the best candidates, you’ll find her making memories with her husband and three kids—usually outdoors, whether chasing their crazy dog, playing sports, or just enjoying the fresh air.

Roof whisperer. Smooth talker. Professional ladder climber. JP is the sales rep who’s always one step ahead—literally, because he’s probably already up on your roof.

He swears he’s not competitive, but let’s just say he’s not losing that leaderboard anytime soon.
