Meet the Owners

Kenny and Jess met while working for a local ambulance agency. They started Five Alarm Designs as part of Kenny's dream to work for himself. Together now for four years, they have made Five Alarm Designs successful through teamwork (Kenny creating and Jess selling).

Kenny grew up in the northern Adirondacks where he worked for his Grandfather's logging company all through High School. Going to SUNY Cortland to obtain his BS in Athletic Training, he moved to the CNY area to work for LeMoyne College as an Athletic Trainer. He also worked part time for a local ambulance agency where he became certified as a Paramedic, eventually leading to him becoming a Firefighter for the City of Oswego where he is now a Lieutenant. Kenny is involved in his community as an Assistant Fire Chief for the Volunteer Fire Department of the town he lives in, as well as being an active member of a Firefighter MC that puts on benefits to help local first responders in need. When he isn't responding to emergencies or in the woodshop, Kenny enjoys hunting, fishing, camping, and hiking.

Jess has lived in the CNY area all of her life, attending SUNY Oswego for a BS in Psychology before switching paths and going to school for Nursing. While going to school full-time, Jess also works for a local ambulance agency full-time as an EMT. When Jess isn't in school she is typically spending time spoiling their two dogs, Gunner and Finley, or camping and hiking with Kenny.
