Amanda is the Founder and Director of Marketing of Midwest Horizons Marketing Group. Having moved to North Missouri in 2007 when she married her husband Nicholas, she worked in a variety of different industries, both public and private sector. In 2013 she began building e-commerce websites for her then employer and discovered that she had a true knack for it. In 2018 she took a position with a media company which took her from digital marketing customer to digital marketing vendor. Amanda has always been an active member of her community, serving in such organizations as Rotary and the local Athletic Boosters. She’s a wife and mother to six, as well as all the friends of her children who also call her mom. In 2020 she became “Nannie” when her first grandchild Tucker was born. North Missouri, though not her original home, has become her “forever” home. Throughout Amanda’s career, she has seen a need. No company that she has worked for has offerings that represent the demographics of her area well. Many small businesses need smaller more affordable digital solutions, while larger businesses need solutions that recognize and are optimized to the lower population density. Amanda’s mission has always been to bring value to her customer, and this was a primary factor in the selection of her team. In answer to this need, Amanda founded Midwest Horizons Marketing Group in January 2022.
Nicholas Covey is a father of six and a proud "Cap-ie" to one grandson. He lives in North Missouri on a small hobby farm. He is a dedicated husband to Amanda, and is always there to provide support in her endeavors, especially in building her marketing company. Nicholas is an avid outdoorsman, who loves to spend his free time hunting and fishing. He also enjoys tending to his farm and growing a variety of fruits and vegetables. He believes in a simple, humble lifestyle and cherishes the time spent with his family and friends.
Doug is a lifelong resident of northwest Missouri, growing up as a farm kid north of Stanberry. He earned a degree at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville and then entered the media industry in radio in St. Joseph in 1982. Assisting area businesses with their marketing efforts as an advertising representative, he left St. Joseph in 2008 for the opportunity to manage radio stations in nearby Bethany and Cameron, returning to St. Joseph in 2019 to manage the same radio stations he started with back in 1992. In February of 2022, Doug joined Midwest Horizons Marketing Group to better focus on the direct support and marketing assistance for businesses throughout the region.
Doug is married to Tammie who works in the Buchanan County Circuit Clerk's office, and has two children, Ashlea Prater and Joshua Schmitz. Soon, Doug will finally have a grandson as Ashlea and her husband Brandon are expecting their first child in May 2022. While opportunities have come to advance his career elsewhere, northwest Missouri has been and hopefully will always be home.
Doug has served on the boards of the Northwest Missouri State University Alumni Association, Cameron R-1 School District, Cameron Regional YMCA, North Central Missouri Enterprise Facilitation, Bethany Chamber of Commerce, Cameron Chamber of Commerce, Cameron Rotary Club and the St. Joseph Saints Baseball Club. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus, St. Francis Catholic Church and St. Joseph-East Rotary Club as well as serving on the boards of United Way of St. Joseph and Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri.
