Born and raised in Oklahoma, Jonah grew up with a deep love for the outdoors. Especially duck hunting. His family spent time in Montana throughout his childhood, and he even spent part of his high school years in the Flathead Valley, where he met Grant. Those years left a lasting impression, and even after moving back to Oklahoma, Jonah always knew he would eventually find his way back West. That pull became even stronger after he met his now-wife, Hailey, through Grant. After graduating high school, Jonah packed up everything and moved to Kalispell, ready to build a life rooted in Montana.

After getting married in August 2026, Jonah is building more than just a career here in the Flathead Valley, he’s building a life, a family, and a future in the place he always knew he’d return to.

Kenny has been part of Aspen Forestry and Landscape for over six years, bringing a unique combination of forestry experience, field knowledge, and a strong drive to keep the company moving forward. Originally from Wisconsin, Kenny grew up hunting and fishing and developed a lifelong appreciation for the outdoors. One of his favorite traditions is a fishing trip back home that has grown into a four-generation family tradition. It’s that same connection to the outdoors that eventually brought him West.
Kenny graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point with two degrees in Wildland Fire Science and Forest Management. He spent 10 years with the U.S. Forest Service fighting wildfires, an experience that ultimately brought him to the valley and provided a deep understanding of the land, forests, and the work that goes into managing them. At Aspen Forestry and Landscape, Kenny handles the day-to-day operations and growth of the business, from bidding and estimating projects to planning ahead and helping guide the company’s direction. He works to identify new opportunities, build strong relationships, and make sure AFL continues to grow while maintaining the quality and reputation it was built on.
When he’s not working, you’ll usually find Kenny somewhere outdoors with his bird dog, Vina aka Princess. Whether they’re bird hunting across Eastern Montana or running around the backcountry, the Flathead Valley has proven to be a perfect fit for both of them.
