Andrea

Andrea Johnson is Forest’s Executive Assistant at Dennis General Contractor, where she specializes in keeping things running smoothly in the background. With over three years of industry experience, she has successfully organized DGC’s back-end operations while helping Forest prioritize his professional and personal goals. Andrea holds a degree in Human Development from Utah State University. Outside of work, she’s an avid reader, an enthusiastic hiker, and a big fan of anything on the water. She loves sharing these outdoor adventures with her family, soaking up as much quality time with her kids as possible while they grow.

Jessica

Jessica’s path into roofing wasn’t exactly a straight one, but looking back, it makes a lot of sense. She spent nearly 10 years with a geotechnical engineering firm and several years in property management before making the move into residential roofing. Roofing ended up being a great fit because it brought together two things she really enjoys: construction and people.

Since then, Jessica has worked on everything from traditional residential roofs to high-end and specialty projects throughout Bozeman, Big Sky, and the Yellowstone Club. She loves being out in the community, meeting people and building genuine relationships. For her, it’s never just about selling a roof. It’s about listening, understanding what someone actually needs, educating them on their options, and helping them feel confident about the decisions they’re making for their home.

Jessica’s involvement in the industry extends beyond her day-to-day work. She has been actively involved with National Women in Roofing and has served in a leadership role with the Montana Council. She values the relationships, education, and opportunities NWIR creates for women in the roofing industry and enjoys being part of a community that encourages women to grow and support one another.

One of the things Jessica values most is continued growth. She loves learning, being challenged, and pushing herself outside of her comfort zone. She’s excited to continue developing her knowledge of the roofing and construction industry while building relationships with homeowners, industry partners, and the communities DGC serves.

When she isn’t working, Jessica is usually spending time with her husband and two sons, traveling, reading, exploring Montana, or getting outside with their two dogs. She loves the mountains, the beach, a good pair of boots, and experiencing new places and after traveling around with her family, she’s pretty happy to call Montana home.

Elliot

I’m a sixth-generation Montanan, raised on a ranch just outside Bozeman. With nearly nine years in the roofing and construction industry, I’ve built my career around hard work, honest communication, and finding the right solution for every customer.

I believe not every problem needs to be solved with a complete replacement or the most expensive option. Whenever possible, I look for simple, practical, and cost-effective solutions that address the problem without doing more work than necessary. My goal is to help customers make informed decisions and find the best solution for their home—not simply sell them a bigger project.

Outside of work, I’m a husband and proud dad of two. I enjoy spending time outdoors hunting, fishing, boating, and making the most of everything Montana has to offer.

What I enjoy most about this business is meeting new people and helping them solve their construction challenges. I take pride in doing the job right, finding solutions that make sense, and treating every customer’s home like it’s my own.
