Donald James Jennings was born January 6, 1956,  to Donna F and James N Jennings in Boise, Idaho. True to his nature, he had scratches on his nose when he arrived, in preparation for a rock and roll wonderful life. Personality was immediate with this little Donny boy.

A more natural salesman was never born, Don quickly became the top sales producer at his dealership. He and his brothers then went into business together as Jennings Real Estate in 1982.
