General Partners

Jerry Kanney

Mr. Kanney, a native of New Washington, Ohio, graduated from Findlay College in 1974 with a bachelor of science degree, earning majors in accounting and business administration and a minor in marketing. Kanney moved to Saginaw, Michigan where he worked as a staff accountant for the firm of Ernst & Ernst. In 1977, he moved to Pikeville where he became vice president of Pikeville National Bank and Trust Company. Shortly afterward, Kanney developed and opened his own CPA firm in his adopted hometown of Pikeville. Jerome A. Kanney, CPA, PSC, quickly grew from a company with a singular employee (himself) to a staff of multiple CPAs and accountants. Kanney entered the oil and gas business in 1989 as a partner in Interstate Natural Gas with businessman and friend, Dennis Rohrer.

Dennis Rohrer

Mr. Rohrer began his career in 1963, when he worked as an area manager at the Buck Hill Ski Resort near Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1973, Rohrer and three other partners established what would become a very successful tree removal service called Total Trees, Inc. Although moving to Kentucky wasn’t something he had originally planned on doing, in 1980, one of his friends from Minnesota told him about the booming oil and gas business in eastern Kentucky, and Rohrer ventured to the area to see what it had to offer. Rohrer served as vice president of United Recoveries, Inc. and was a consultant to the oil and gas industry with his own business DLR Enterprises, Inc. Rohrer soon put down roots in Pikeville, and in 1989, he joined Kanney to form Interstate Natural Gas, a gas and oil company which would service eastern Kentucky.
