Chief executive officer. President. Executive director.
Managing partner.
These are some of the titles held by the members of the
Young Guns Class of 2019—all of whom are leaders in their
fields and communities and all of whom are 43 or younger.
The West Virginia ideals of hard work and perseverance
make the Mountain State a great place to quickly rise through
the ranks of an established company, start a new business or
affect social change. West Virginia’s best, brightest and youngest
are making their mark on a state already rich in history and
creating a new type of engaged, meaningful leadership.
In honor of the countless Mountaineers working toward
a better, stronger West Virginia, every year West Virginia
Executive (WVE) magazine recognizes a group of leaders who
best exemplify these characteristics. Young Guns are West
Virginians ages 43 and younger who have lived and worked
in the state for at least two years, excelled in their respective
careers and spend a significant amount of time giving back to
the communities in which they live.
On November 15, 2018, WVE held a reception at the West
Virginia Culture Center to honor Young Guns Class of 2019
inductees Matt Boggs, Brandon Dennison, Jason Henderson,
Lauren Hendricks, Walker Holloway, Tiffany Kapp, Kyle Mork,
Mark Nesselroad, Natalie Roper and Danny Scalise for their
collective accomplishments and unique brand of leadership
with the help of sponsors Mylan, McKinley Carter Wealth
Services, My Huntington and the Cabell-Huntington Convention
& Visitors Bureau.
This year’s Young Guns photo shoot took place at various
locations across Cabell and Wayne counties, including Marshall
University, Griffith & Feil Drug, Pullman Square, Blenko Glass
Company, Hoops Family Children’s Hospital, The Frederick
Hotel and Camden Park, illustrating the vibrant business
environment and thriving communities of the Huntington area.
