Kelly Arnold
Kelly was born and raised in Ohio County, on the outskirts of the rural farming community of Cromwell, Kentucky. He is the youngest of 6 children; his father working heavy construction and mother a home maker. For a family of 9 (2 parents, 5siblings and a grandmother) living in a 900 square foot home with two bedrooms, Kelly, at an early age, began thinking of ‘how can we improve this housing situation’?
Kelly and Kristy live on the outskirts of Bowling Green, with their 3 daughters close by and six beautiful grandchildren (with #7 due in February!)
