Kevin Hester
Kevin grew up loving the outdoors, his family, playing sports, and exploring nature. He began his career with a push mower at 11 years old and furthered his career in landscape construction at 19 years old. He grew up in Dallas, TX, and served in the United States Marine Corps from 2005 to 2009. He founded Kevin’s Landscapes in 2010 and now works within the company as a Landscape Consultant and in leadership. Kevin and Joelle married in 2011 and now have 4 children: Ellie Kate, Clayton, Anna, and Nora. Kevin became a born-again believer in Jesus Christ at 39 years old. The Hester’s are members of Emmanuel Baptist Church and are involved in serving and ministry. They operate a producing farm just outside of town and practice holistic regenerative farming. They raise and sell grass-fed beef, pasture pork, and free-range eggs. If the sun is up, Kevin prefers to be outside. Joelle is a wonderful stay-at-home mom and homeschools their children. The Hester’s love living on a farm and are grateful for the opportunity to work and learn from God’s creation daily. Kevin and Joelle’s personal goals include: building lasting relationships, raising Godly children, and being good stewards of God’s resources. Kevin and Joelle plan to become certified in Biblical Counseling, as that is part of what the Lord used to pull Kevin out of his past sin. Kevin is currently working on his training and certification. He is also active in evangelism and in discipleship of his wife, children, and others.
“Kevin’s Landscapes was not my plan, but God Made it happen and has placed me here to work diligently for His kingdom. God has taught me to take joy in my work, as his scripture intended. I love the people I am around every day and the relationships that have come from my life’s career in landscaping. Praise God.” – Kevin
Zach Gallander
Zach grew up in Liberty Hill (north Austin) with five sisters and three brothers. He found his way to College Station and started working his way up in the Hospitality Industry. He loved interacting with customers and providing them with a quality experience. However, he was ready to shed the suit and get back to his real passion, spending time outdoors and getting his hands dirty. Kevin’s Landscapes provided this opportunity when he came on board in 2019 as a crew member. Zach’s old-school work ethic and desire to learn was evident in everything he accomplished. He quickly was promoted to Crew Leader, Estimator, Director of Sales and Marketing, and eventually to our Chief Operating Officer. His years of management, hospitality, and personal drive make him an important member of our team. Zach married his wife, Kalene, in 2020 and loves spending time with his step-boys Conner and Kade and his son Carter. On the weekends you will find Zach wrestling with the boys, watching Aggie football, and installing Kalene’s most recent Pinterest ideas. The Gallander’s attend Grace Creekside and strive to teach their boys how to be men of God.
Mark Dohnalik
Mark grew up in the small town of Cameron, TX where he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and working cattle with his dad. In 2005, Mark married his wife Alicia, and they now have 5 beautiful children: Colby, Chloe, Claire, Caydee, and Caleb. He received his Associate’s Degree in Business Management from Temple College and moved his family to College Station in 2013 where he joined Grace Bible Church. Through attending Grace, Mark met Kevin which blossomed into a wonderful friendship. In 2017, Kevin asked Mark to join the team at Kevin’s Landscapes as an office and client relations manager. Mark listened to God and took a leap of faith knowing there was only 2 weeks’ worth of pay to find out if they could make it work. Through God’s blessing and prayer, the company continued to flourish into what it is today. Mark grew with the company and now manages the Finance Team as the CFO. He loves being able to combine his skills in management, relationships, and the outdoors into a career that he is passionate about. The Dohnalik’s love serving the Lord and creating community at Grace Creekside. Mark strives to lead his family in loving the Lord and growing in faith and knowledge of His Word.
