Scott Morrison, Partner
The second of Marvin and June Morrison’s three sons, Scott Morrison was the first
in the family to move into a new home on the Ranch. He and wife Stormy, along
with their three daughters and son, can often be seen walking the Ranch’s
grassy paths or playing in the recreational open space adjoining their home in
Higley Groves.
For the first ten years of his married life, Scott was a full time farmer, both
in Gilbert and in the Florence area. Now he spends the bulk of his time working on
planning issues for Morrison Ranch, while also serving on several boards,
including Gilbert Leadership (a program of the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce).
Stormy, a Certified Public Accountant, enjoys working from home, in addition to
juggling the demands of overseeing the office accounting,
blogging, and maintaining close contact with four adult kids. In their leisure time,
both Scott and Stormy devote their energies to the Gilbert chapter of Young
Life, an outreach program for youth.
Howard Morrison, Partner
The third of Marvin and June Morrison’s three boys, Howard Morrison has played an
integral role in the planning and development of Morrison Ranch since its beginning.
Howard received a Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture from the University of
Arizona, then went on to receive degrees from Dallas Theological Seminary (Th.M.)
and Phoenix Seminary (D.Min.). In addition to serving as a member of the planning
team of Morrison Ranch, Howard dedicates a great deal of his time to the adults of
East Valley Bible Church in Gilbert.
On a personal note, Howard and wife Jana keep busy overseeing the hectic schedules
of their three school-age children. In his “down” time, Howard enjoys reading,
basketball, and traveling. Both personally and professionally, he enjoys working
alongside his extended family, whether developing Morrison Ranch or helping his brothers
and cousins in their own personal endeavors.
Dawnie Stewart, Partner & Director of Public Relations
The oldest of Kenneth and Lela Morrison’s children, Dawnie Stewart is cousin to Scott
and Howard Morrison. Together, these three comprise the active management team
overseeing the development of Morrison Ranch.
Prior to becoming actively involved in the planning and development of Morrison
Ranch, Dawnie enjoyed a successful career in retail, a career which she now credits
for her insight into the development of the commercial centers at Morrison Ranch and
her success as the Ranch’s director of public relations.
On a personal note, Dawnie is married to Justin Stewart who is also a key player
on the Ranch’s active management team. Together they reside on the Ranch, just a
stone’s throw from Dawnie’s son Denton, his wife Tammy, and their children, Ty, Jacey and Hadley. Denton
helps run the family farming operation in Gilbert. Dawnie’s other son, Dustin, along with Denton,
now owns and operates a new family farm at Painted Rock Ranch just outside of Gila Bend, Arizona,
where he resides with his wife Becki and their sons Wyatt and Nate.
In her spare time, Dawnie enjoys gardening, cheering on Arizona’s professional
sports teams, travel, and (most importantly!) spending time with her children
and grandchildren.
