Jennifer Jacobson
Marketing Specialist
Hard work and perseverance are two things that just flows through her veins.
Growing up in Billings, MT and then a Farm and Ranch in Eastern Montana watching and
helping her family raise cattle. Jennifer Jacobson knew at an early age her best friends would
always be animals and music, the smells, the views, the lyrics, the feeling, is what makes her
feel alive.
Riding horses bareback and watching baby claves doing the zoomies has always been the
reward that has come with the long days and nights that comes with the territory.
After Graduating College and a handful of years spent in the big cities of Minneapolis, Memphis
and Nashville pursuing corporate jobs, sales, marketing and finance, her heart called her home
to spend time with family and have her own.
From diamond sales, then managing and customer service, Jennifer decided to fill her days with
helping other learn how to grow in their personal lives by way of the Fitness industry. Being
peoples rock to lean on and helping them push through the hard journey of strength training
and weight loss and everything underneath was what taught her even more how meaningful
relationships, partnerships and positive connections truly was her passion.
But ultimately business and Agriculture is where she wanted to be, it’s what feels like home,
and connects her to the community. Helping people connect and work together in the farm and
ranch industry and Sales and Marketing is just what makes the two collide in radio advertising
for KGHL.
When not trying to help small family businesses grow and flourish as well as farmers and
ranchers having access to what will help them, the busy mom of one teen and 2 toddlers can be
found enjoying her horses and helping raise her families own herd of cattle or stacking hay
bales.
From feeding in Carharts to football mom cheering sections or rodeo stands and concerts,
Jennifer really does understand the heart and soul of farming and ranching communities as well
as the hard work that goes with a life rooted in dirt.
