Jordan worked in the mental health field for years and is trained as a social worker. But the thread that binds his past experiences together is a never-ending curiosity and a love for people and their stories. A self-taught marketer who tinkered with his own websites and SEO before joining the Big West Marketing team, Jordan now has two homes--a Montana one and a tight-knit work family at Big West.Leah Zins

Abe Coley
Web Designer
Abe Coley is a 1,123rd generation fence builder living in Missoula, MT. His daddy had him peeling logs when he was three years old, and he's built just about every kind of fence ever since - from cast iron and wire to dry stacked stone to wattles, hurdles, and stick fences.
If the saying is true that good fences make good neighbors, then that pretty much makes Abe Mr. Rogers.
