Samantha Kiger

I am the Owner/ Executive Director Oklahoma Welcome.  I am partners with my husband Lundy Kiger and togehter we form the Kiger Group.

I was born and raised in Mena, Arkansas.  I am very much a multi tasker.  I am constantly thinking of what I can do next.  I would say that my favorite thing in life is being a wife, mom, and aunt.

When I was younger, I spent my days as a Paramedic.  I still love and respect the profession and try to stay involved in other areas of emergency management such as volunteer work or public information if needed.  

My next challenge in life took me to work at LeFlore Counties only daily newspaper as the Advertising Director then Publisher for more than a decade.  After leaving print media, I decided that Southeast Oklahoma needed digital news that they could rely on, therefore OKW was born.

I am a member of the Rotary Club, Currently in the process of joining the Oklahoma Medical Reserve Corps, I served three years on the LeFlore County Development Coalition board and three years on the Chamber of Commerce board.  I attend church at Cross Community in Poteau.  

I have 3 beautiful daughters - Miranda, Hailey and Mya, a very smart and handsome step son- Joe Ryan, and a wonderful son in law- Bobby who is also very smart and handsome.  OH... and I have a Great Dane named Xena who is a crazy spoiled dog.
