After starting for BKD upon graduation, he passed the CPA exam and became a certified public accountant. He served as a Manager and leader for BKD during his 5 ½ years with the Financial Institution audit team. “Most importantly, this is where I met my wife, Christina. We became heavily ingrained in the Fort Smith community, but always dreamed of coming back home since both of us are from here. We visited often and shared the Mena traditions with our children. With a lot of prayer and great timing, we had the opportunity to come back home and jumped on it. Now we can use our talents and passions to be a part of this great community we have always called home.”- Kesterson.
