POCATELLO â An East Idaho native is the new plant manager at Amyâs Kitchen in Pocatello â a job he says has been incredibly rewarding as well as challenging in the age of COVID-19.
Born and raised in Blackfoot, Brent Higginson has lived in the area for most of his life. He graduated from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, with a bachelorâs degree in mechanical engineering, and soon after he and his family moved back to Blackfoot where he eventually got a job at Basic American Foods. During his 16 years there, he held several positions, finally serving as plant manager, before returning to his engineering roots for a stint at the Idaho National Laboratory.
