“I work with an awesome group from all different backgrounds,” he says. “They’re the most committed, hard working team of people, and I think that reflects on where we are. Montanans have a strong work ethic — we love contributing to a team.”
“I always knew I wanted to get back to the mountains with my family, so we checked out a lot of mountain towns over the years. My wife and I loved skiing in Jackson and Sun Valley, but we were looking for a really livable community where we could raise our kids - that was definitely Bozeman. We knew as soon as we got here.”
“We love Butte. This is a phenomenal place to be raising our children, and we can be fishing, skiing - whatever we want - within an hour of our front door. And, the cost of living here is affordable. We were able to bootstrap our business while still paying our mortgage here, and had the full support of our community. We’re here to stay.”
“There’s an incredible level of access and a lack of stress here that frees up mind space and time to do great work…we made the right choice when we chose Montana.”
