Roland Hill grew up and resides in Aitkin, Mn.  He started working with his father at Simon’s Body Shop painting his first car at age 15. Cars and racing stock cars was a passion shared with family, but his father encouraged him to get out of the auto body business, complete college and go do “something easier”.  Roland worked for the USDA Soil Conservation Service for 3 years and in 1992 he joined Grand Casino Mille Lacs as a community liaison and eventually became Vice President of Marketing. In 2002, Roland left Grand Casino and started his entrepreneurship and fun ventures. Roland has a Bachelor Degree in Marketing from Concordia College in St Paul.

Over the years, the true passion for building bridges between culture and community became evident resulting in Roland making his career and livelihood in putting people around the table for business, philanthropic, engagement and community reasons. His network stretches over several Tribes, regions and industries, including real estate, gaming, energy, insurance, automotive, non-profit, education, outdoors and philanthropic organizations. As a proud member of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians, he spends ample time within the Red Lake Nation Community and is Board President for Red Lake Incorporated. 

 Roland has been married to his wife Kay, (Edina Realty Realtor) for 30 years and has two grown boys, Kylan, (MnDNR Conservation Officer) and Kinzer, (Aitkin County Forester). Roland and Kay are enjoying being first time grandparents to their grandson Simon Hill. Roland’s passions are the outdoors chasing whitetails on the Rez and fishing Lower Red Lake for the famous Red Lake Walleye. In addition, Roland is a 25 year turkey hunting veteran and guides for free to friends, family, and kids and prides himself in being able to find a tom turkey anywhere in the state of Minnesota.
