It all begins with an idea.
Kenny Berndt started Black Dog Metals in 2019 with the goal to impact veterans. Kenny is from South Dakota where he served in the Army National Guard. He being a veteran himself he has felt the calling to do more for our vets. Through his metal art work he is giving a percentage of his profits from his metal back to a local non-profit, Bodhi Battalion here that places service dogs with Veterans. Since starting his metal business that is all done by hand he has been able to make a huge impact with his charity partner. Kenny lives in Colorado with his wife and his son Karter.
The Bodhi Battalion (pronounced Bo-dee, meaning “awakening”) was established in 2015 to provide support to veterans who are struggling with mental/behavioral health issues, addiction, positive social support systems, and community engagement.
