JENN
FEENEY
Sr. Service
Accounts Receivable
What do you like most about your job?
All my amazing co-workers, of course, especially the accounting team! I also like the research aspect of my job and problem solving.
​​
What did you do before you came to work here?
I worked in accounting for a small, family-owned print and promotional product business for over 18 years. The owners sold the business to a company that I had worked at before I went to work for them, and I spent another four years there before moving on to Alliant Systems.
What do you like to do on the weekends?
Saturday market, hiking at Forest Park or out in the Gorge, road trips, yard work, tending to, and acquiring, house plants, dog walks, visiting with friends, art making.
Where did you go on your last vacation?
I went to London to see the US Women’s National soccer Team play England at Wembley stadium. We did some sightseeing as well and had a great time!​​
Sports?
Go Thorns!!! I love our women’s soccer team and supporting and watching women’s sports. Looking forward to having a WNBA team here in Portland!
When you were a little kid, what did you want to do when you grew up?
I wanted to be a veterinarian. But growing up around my family’s commercial print shop, it’s no wonder that I ended up in the printing industry – first in corrugated, then in commercial print and promotions. And creatively, I became a printmaker. I guess there’s ink in my blood!​
Do you have any pets?
Yes, I have Sushi the cat and Gaeri the dog. Gaeri is a rescue from South Korea and I adopted him a couple of weeks after he arrived here last year. He had to have 19 teeth pulled! Did you know dogs have 42 teeth!
Do you have any hidden talents or hobbies?
I wouldn’t say they are hidden. I’m a loud and proud printmaker and painter! I’ve participated in Portland Open Studios, the CAP art auction, Memories in the Making for the Alzheimer’s Association, and I organize a fundraiser art show every year at Bite Studio called Love in Print. This year, Girls Build was our beneficiary, and Alliant Systems donated to Girls Build on behalf of the show! You can also find my work in local art shows throughout the year.
ROSS NOTEBAART
Service SPTI Sales
Project Manager
What do you like most about your job?
I work with a lot of really smart people who are true professionals in their respective fields, and I feel like I’m constantly learning something new from them. I like the fact that no two projects are the same and each has its own unique set of challenges to solve, which makes every day different. And the people…we have an awesome team in Bend which makes most days not feel like “work.”
​
What did you do before you came to work here?
My entire career has been in the construction industry and after finishing my mechanical engineering degree, I worked for a few different building automation and controls contractors in Portland. I had worked with several people at Alliant and was really excited when an opportunity opened to join the SPTI team and ultimately help start up the Bend Office.
​
What do you like to do on the weekends?
Weekdays are busy so I enjoy just hanging out with my wife and two daughters, which typically involves doing something outdoors. My oldest, Rowan, just learned to ski so we spend a lot of weekends at Mt. Bachelor. Summer, we love to camp, float the river or go to our cabin at Detroit Lake.
​
Where did you go on your last vacation?
Cabo! My wife Jessica and I got married there and went back to celebrate our 10-year anniversary with our kids.
​
What is something unique or surprising about you?
For my coworkers who know me well, they know I love to play golf, but my golf game is consistently inconsistent. However, I have made 3 hole-in-ones, which I think is pretty good.
​
Sports?
Yes! I’m from Wisconsin so I love watching Packers and Badgers football in the fall. My family has had season tickets to the Packers for the last 50+ years, so I went to a lot of games at Lambeau Field growing up…and I still try to make it back for at least one game per season.​
​​
When you were a little kid, what did you want to do when you grew up?
My grandpa was in law enforcement, and I always wanted to be a police officer growing up but took a different career path in college. I always thought that would be a fun job; and found out years later I can grow a pretty sweet ‘stash.
​​
Do you have any pets?
My wife has a cat…and the cat and I don’t really see eye to eye.
