Kern Stevenson

Kern helps organizations turn ideas into products that get made and delivered. Through Trusted Scout, he works with national and international groups to develop, source and import products and provides business development and consulting backed by research and forecasting.
Kern grew up in retail and has spent more than four decades in business, from owning Chalet Sports in Bozeman, Montana to leading product development and sales at Big Sky Carvers and Demdaco. He knows how products are bought, priced and sold, and how to turn ideas into action.

Andrea Stevenson

Every business wants to move forward, but the marketing landscape can get murky, with endless options that feel overwhelming. Andrea scouts the terrain, helps small and mid-size businesses decide what to create and what to skip, then builds the right assets to get them there, from websites and social to print, communications plans and branded merch.
She’s worked on many sides of the table: as CEO of the Gallatin Valley YMCA, working with cross-functional teams at a national SAAS company, and as an account director, managing marketing and communications for national clients. For you, that means someone who knows how to stretch a budget, explain complex ideas simply, and deliver work that holds up.
