About us

It was 2021 and our daughter Kristina was pole vaulting at the local high school. I was informally helping Kristina and another vaulter, Chad, from the boy’s track and field team. To say that the high school inventory of poles was sad, would be an understatement. As such, Lori and I were considering purchasing a pole, or several poles for Kristina. Then we heard about renting poles, and I spoke with Chad’s parents. We were all in and it was time to be introduced into the world of pole rentals!

This was a driving factor in meeting Jim Hill, from whom we rented our first poles for training and for Kristina and Chad’s track season. Not having any type of pole vault rental business in the northwest Indiana area, the likes of what Jim offered, we knew that we had to make this service available to other vaulters. 

As a former seventeen foot plus vaulter back in the late ‘80s, I understand the complexities of pole vaulting and the importance of vaulting on the correct pole(s). This is one of the key factors in bringing out the vaulter’s potential and reaching personal record heights.

Therefore, as a family-owned business, we make it a point to offer our clients our experience and knowledge. We truly believe that by supporting our customers with the best customer service and the right choice of pole(s), it really makes the difference for the vaulter’s success.

Dynasty Pole Vault Midwest, LLC is located in Valparaiso, Indiana which is nestled approximately one (1) hour East from the Chicago land area and the Southwest Michigan border and approximately two and half hours North of Indianapolis, Indiana, making it a good base for distribution.
