Ken B. - ASM, CSP

Having developed a passion for snow and ice management over the last nearly three decades, Ken has truly become an expert in all aspects of the snow and ice management industry. Ken began his career in the snow and ice management industry clearing sidewalks and driveways as a kid (see photo to the left of Ken in the 1980s). These days Ken is President of Swinter Group, Inc. and dispatches a crew of nearly 600 people during a snow event in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area alone. Ken also works with other snow removal contractors and attorneys providing consulting services in 30+ states. Additionally, Ken has developed and is President of SG Advantage, LLC, which provides systems and software to the snow removal industry, and he works with contractors throughout the country.  

Ken is a one stop shop for anything and everything relative to the snow and ice management industry. He has provided consulting and in-field services for international facilities management corporations as well as local property owners / managers, and has personally managed snow removal services throughout the country.

Ken has attained both the Advanced Snow Manager (ASM) and Certified Snow Professional (CSP) designations from the Snow and Ice Management Association (SIMA). The ASM program has four courses and focuses on in-field best practices, science and chemical knowledge. The CSP is a higher level certification. Although SIMA has thousands of members, less than 250 have attained the CSP Designation.  CSP testing covers broader fields such as snow and ice science, operations, techniques and subcontracting.

Ken has Snow & Ice Management expert and consulting experience in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.  Additionally, Ken has operational experience in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas.

Nicole B.

Nicole is the First Lady of Swinter Group, Inc., and her main role is to keep the different departments working together efficiently and effectively. She also runs the marketing for Swinter, SG Advantage, and Krown St. Louis and takes care of any IT services, as needed. 

Nicole was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri and graduated from Truman State University with a B.S in Business/Marketing and a minor in Visual Communications. She has always enjoyed being both creative and analytical. Before working at Swinter, she dabbled in both media planning and accounting at local advertising agencies, and she honed her many hatted skills at a construction company. In her spare time, she loves to draw portraits and either listen to or join in with her musically inclined family.

Jason D - ASM, CSP

Jason began his tenure at Swinter by running our parts and service department. As his knowledge of, and experience with, snow and ice removal increased, he moved over to our account management team, and now he is the Branch Manager at our Wise Office. Before joining Swinter Group, Inc., Jason’s first career was in the United States Army, where he served as a Military Police Senior Non-Commissioned Officer and as a Chief Warrant Officer and Apache Attack Helicopter Pilot.

Jason has quickly developed a passion for the snow and ice industry and works tirelessly to continue developing as a snow and ice professional.

He has attained both the Advanced Snow Manager (ASM) and Certified Snow Professional (CSP) designations from the Snow and Ice Management Association (SIMA).

Elizabeth H - ASM

Elizabeth was born in Southern Illinois and moved to St. Louis after attending Southern Illinois University Carbondale for Kinesiology. After college she worked in two very different environments: a mortgage bank and a child care center.

Elizabeth came to Swinter Group to share her talents of organization and communication that she honed both in the banking industry and working with children.  In 2018, she began her career with Swinter as our Receptionist, but as the company and her responsibilities grew, she needed to step away from the front desk. Elizabeth has handled Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Human Resources responsibilities for Swinter. In 2024, she obtained the Advanced Snow Manager (ASM) designation from the Snow and Ice Management Association (SIMA).

On weekends, you can expect to find Elizabeth doing something outside; whether it be hiking, boating, climbing, camping, or simply sitting outdoors and listening to music.

With a smile on her face, she is always happy to greet you at the door and help with whatever you may need. 
 
In her free time, Hailey enjoys going to the gym, playing board games, and going out to eat with friends.
