We would like to honor the success story of Jedd Lekvold. In Scobey, Montana, on Christmas Day 1980, Jedd was born. He was "the best Christmas present ever," according to his mother. (These were most certainly not Jedd's words.) After receiving his high school diploma in the spring of 1999 (Go Spartans!), Jedd went on to attend MSU-Billings and graduated in the winter of 2003 with a bachelor's degree in Finance. (One extra semester owing to his procrastination). Throughout his college years, Jedd worked part-time in the warehouse at Western Builders Supply.
After earning his degree, he accepted a position as a sales representative for Western Builders Supply, where he sold fasteners. While working for WBS, Jedd traveled to lumberyards in Montana, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, and Nebraska. In May of 2005, Jedd returned home to Scobey and began building a family of his own. He is married to his beautiful wife, Kiki, who was born and raised in Scobey. Kiki is an insurance agent and the two of them have been blessed with four children: Gracee (20), Claire (14), Blake (13), and Nate (10). In October 2005, Jedd was hired as a milk man by his brother-in-law, who owned a local dairy distribution company, where he distributed dairy and food products to numerous stores.
In July of 2007, Jedd was hired on as a lender by Independence Bank and has worked for IB ever since. He maintains the title of Assistant Vice President of AG Lending and is proud to work for an organization that takes pride in their experience and knowledge of Agriculture. Jedd is grateful for the Ag community and looks forward to the future!
As a very active community member, Jedd has also taken on several roles for both the boys' and girls' high school basketball teams, the football team, and is presently the head girls’ basketball coach at Scobey High School. Jedd is a member of the Montana Coaches Association and has been part of various other organizations such as: Scobey Alumni Foundation Inc., Scobey Baseball, Daniels County Chamber of Commerce, Hospital Foundations, and Plainsmen.
