What do you enjoy most

about living in the 501: My grandma and my mom are both from Little Rock, and my great uncle, David Kinley, is a former Mayor of Conway. He played a major part in making Conway the city it is today. I’d say my favorite part about living in the 501 is the family history and heritage I have here.

HIS STORY:

Where did you grow up:I was born and raised in the Ouachita Mountains of Western Arkansas, in the town of Mena (Polk County).

Education: I earned my B.B.A. in management of information systems and my Master of Business Administration with a concentration in information systems at the University of Central Arkansas.

Job Title: Co-owner of Kassi’s Cookies, LLC and solution architect at Cheetah Digital. President of the Mayflower Area Chamber of Commerce.

Parents: Jason and Amanda Posey of Mena

Community activities: Through my role in Chamber, I spend a lot of time coming up with new ideas and activities for the community. We have started a lot of new initiatives that highlight the city of Mayflower and everything the community has to offer.

Church activities: I always look for the opportunity to serve wherever I am. I help teach youth on Wednesday nights, help run livestream, and do whatever I can to help further the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Hobbies/special interests: I just picked up golf less than a year ago … I’m not very good at it, and that infuriates me, so I play constantly. I’ve also always had an interest in general aviation. I want to start working on my private pilot’s license soon.

What is your motto: Life is 10% what you make it and 90% how you take it. We can’t always control the things that happen in our lives, but we can absolutely control how we react to those things. I choose to make the best out of every situation and always look for the positive in people and our community!

I love the opportunity that exists in Central Arkansas. There are so many things for people to do and so many different avenues for individuals to explore and grow in! It is a beautiful part of Arkansas and a great place to raise a family!
