Westlake Ace Hardware Lincoln 45th & Vine

General Manager

Brent Applegate
I began as a General Manager is 2015 and joined the Westlake family in 2020. I love to spend time with my family, especially my grandkids who keep me very busy and active. I love to go mountain climbing and am planning a trip this year to climb the tallest mountain in Colorado. I love to cook and especially for large family functions. My wife and I battle on who is the best cook. Me of course. I am a self-taught chef and cake decorator. I have designed and made multiple different styles of cakes for my kids and grandkids over the years including 3D monster trucks and Minnie Mouse. I love learning something new every day and especially very challenging new things. We have a large cattle ranch in South Dakota that expands 2900 acres, so we spend a good deal of time going back and forth from there. I also enjoy golfing, fishing and camping with my family and friends.
