Kenney was born and raised in small town America where his family have resided for many generations, in Southwest Missouri. There, the priorities were, family, church, hunting & fishing, sports, agriculture, horses, cattle, etc.

Kenney's interest in rodeo came young & he started competing in high school, into college while simultaneously playing music in a country band. Ironically, at a local rodeo in 1995, the announcer 'no showed' and Kenney reluctantly filled in to help, and from there, his career began. Working many different rodeos over the next few years & becoming the rodeo coach at Missouri Valley College, Kenney received his PRCA Pro Rodeo Announcer Card in 2000 (at 25 yrs old) and he's worked btwn 75-100 performances annually ever since. Now, a PRCA Gold Card Holder, Kenney maintains a packed schedule of PRCA Rodeo's across the US.

Traveling literally from both oceans to both borders every year and nearly every midwestern state in between, his love for rodeo & the respect for rodeo fans is stronger today than ever.

With wife Amanda & now 9 yr old son Kolter, they still reside in Southwest MO., in the Stockton Lake area on their working cattle ranch enjoying the ranch & rodeo life.

"2025 will mark my 30th year on the road, I realize that I'm very fortunate to be able to do this for a living & we'll forever be indebted to many folks that have helped us along the way. We've made some amazing, life long friendships & an endless list of memories on the rodeo trail.

God blessed me with a wonderful wife & son. Amanda appreciates & respects this lifestyle, she's our rock & the reason we were able to continue our career & start a family at the same time. We have a lot of 'moving parts' at home with the ranch, cattle, our son Kolter, etc., and she holds it all together.

This wonderful life wouldn't be possible without all those who've helped us through the years, the list is long. Seeing & hearing these awesome rodeo fans love the sport as much as I do, still lights my fire! We've loved it since day one and still love it today. We're beyond grateful & humbled by it all." Says Kenney.

Growing up on a ranch his granddad worked, Mark was always interested in horses, cattle, and rodeo. All through school that's all he wanted to do. At a very young age he was horseback helping his granddad. Once in school he started learning cowboy poetry where he was asked to perform at several organizations, benefits, and banquets. So he's always had the gift of gab. Once he was old enough to start rodeoing he wanted to ride bulls. He didn't do very well at being a bull rider so he started trying to be a bullfighter. Then one day he realized he would be much better off using his God-given talent and started being a sound engineer and playing music.

He quickly found out he could last a lot longer and get paid for it too. He quickly started to succeed at this trade and in 2009 he joined the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, where he has worked PRCA Rodeos for several years.
