Michael Kenner is a Nebraska native. He graduated from the University of Colorado in 1975 with a degree in Environmental Biology. He followed his grandfather's footsteps to the mountains of Southern Utah to become involved in a recreational property development. Mike became Director of Operations of Meadow View Heights, Inc. in 1977. He soon learned all the aspects of real estate development including construction, dealing with governmental agencies, accounting, and sales.

Mr. Kenner formed J.M. Kenner Excavators in 1979 with the demand for site work in the mountain area.

Mike became a licensed real estate agent in 1982 to handle the increasing number of resales with the maturity of the subdivision. He joined a Cedar City firm Coldwell Banker Corry Realty and became Branch Broker in 1989. Mr. Kenner left the franchise to form and independent brokerage, Duck Creek Realty, in 1994 with partners, Jerry and Bonnie Koller. The office showed progressive growth with 1996 sales of 3.5 million and currently has 8 agents.

The excavating company evolved into a complete mountain site services company that includes snow cat transportation to cabins during the long winter months.

Mike's hobbies include snow boarding; skiing; golf; mountain biking; upland game bird hunting; C U and corn husker football; and following singer, Amy Grant when ever she is on tour. He also greatly enjoys visiting his six nieces, two nephews, and many young friends he has "adopted" over the years.
