Hoeft Builders "It feels great to be at a point in life where we can start giving back," said Luke Rykal (’05), co-owner of Hoeft Builders. Fellow co-owner Jay Rideout (’04) agreed. “This takes me back to when I was going to Stout, and I’d see different rooms named for donors. Now that we’re part of that, it’s pretty special.”
