ABOUT US
Dennis and Patty Nun became independent manufacturer's representatives for the CONKLIN® Company in 1974, and since then have dedicated over 50 years to developing a network of customers and independent distributors that share their vision that the best products in the world won't sell themselves... the sale of the products we represent are based on availability and service that match the quality of the products themselves.
Dennis and Patty both grew up on farms in southeastern Nebraska. Dennis attended the University of Nebraska and earned a B.S. and M.S. in Agricultural Economics in 1975. Patty earned a Master of Arts Degree in both Psychology and Biblical Studies from Grace University. She has been in private practice as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, is a Certified Firearms Instructor, international life coach, certified grief counselor, and an author. Dennis and Patty have been married since 1973, have six grown children, and nine grandchildren. They have a team of dedicated staff to address questions and provide ongoing training and support. We invite you to call on us for any assistance at any time. We're here to count on!
