Montana 's rugged mountains, infinite blue sky, and untouched wild is irresistible to me . In 1985, I moved to Bozeman to live the dream and get a degree in Economics at Montana State University . While studying, I immersed myself in the mountains whenever possible . I enjoy skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing, mountain biking, motorcycling, hiking, yoga,  hunting, and fishing . In 1990, I followed my heart and moved to Big Sky to live and work in the mountains . After a brief stint as a ski bum (that hasn’t ended yet…), I purchased the Big Sky Conoco, which I owned and operated for nine years . I then sold it to pursue another dream, travel . Inevitably, the allure of Big Sky drew me back . There could not be a better place to raise my family . I have always watched the area's real estate market for my personal investments and, after Martha Johnson's suggestion, I decided to use my knowledge of business, real estate,  and love of the area to help others live their dream… Montana

I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area where my family and I enjoyed skiing the Lake Tahoe Basin and surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains.  When I arrived in Big Sky in October 1978, I was very young and excited about being here!  The skiing was awesome, the resort was small and the real estate was cheap! (relatively so).  Now, some 33 years later, the skiing is still awesome and I have a passion for selling real estate. 
I am an expert in my field of residential or land listings and sales, working with sellers or buyers and know Big Sky real estate and the history like the back of my hand.  I have owned and sold both land & residential, built a showcase log home and been instrumental in starting a multiple listing service for the realtors here.
My past includes: realtor in Santa Fe, NM, building homes, a landscaping business, construction manager for a resort.  But my passion is Big Sky and all it has to offer. 
Let me be your expert and guide you to your desired goals of ownership of your perfect property in Big Sky.   I feel it is a gift to be able to live here in Big Sky and love to see the pleasure people get when they are able to afford their own slice of heaven.

Originally from Richmond, Virginia , I first moved to Big Sky in 1992 for a summer job at Lone Mountain Ranch. It did not take long for me to realize that I would call this special place home for the next 20 years. After a career at Lone Mountain Ranch involving everything from cooking to guiding fishing trips to General Manager for the past four years, I am excited to try something new in the real estate industry. Serving as Chairman of both the Big Sky Transportation District and the Big Sky Convention and Visitors Bureau, I have a vested interest in the growth of Big Sky . With extensive knowledge of the area and all of the activities that Big Sky has to offer, I look forward to helping clients find their dream home and property.

Suzanne grew up skiing Big Sky Resort throughout her childhood, so it's fitting that she landed here. After graduating from Concordia College in Minnesota in 1992, Suzanne moved to Big Sky to decide between law school or graduate school. Needless to say, she fell even more in love with Big Sky and it has been her full time residence ever since.

Suzanne spent many years as a flyfishing guide and in the ski industry, and currently her husband Andrew owns Grizzly Outfitters. Often you will see Suzanne with their two children, Harrison and Mazie, racing down the ski hill, fishing in the Gallatin River, or boating at Hebgen Lake.

After many years of high-end mortgage lending, she decided selling Real Estate for The Club at Spanish Peaks would be a fantastic addition to her career. Suzanne looks forward to helping you make your dreams of ownership in The Club at Spanish Peaks, the most spectacular private club in America, come true!

Brian has been an avid skier all his life. He and his five brothers grew up skiing in the East and loved the benefits of skiing each weekend as a family sport. He skied the American West, but a 1995 trip to Big Sky sowed the seeds of a home in Montana. Brian has been actively involved in residential real estate development, The Club at Spanish Peaks, a family holding since its inception. Brian lives and works in Big Sky, and shares his love of Montana and his knowledge of the Gallatin Valley with all who come to visit, and the luckiest ones who remain.

Brian is a family man focused on providing the best quality of life possible for his family, having moved to Big Sky from the East Coast with his wife, Allison, in order to raise their growing family in the peaceful beauty of Montana.

Brian takes his responsibility to his clients seriously and approaches it quite simply: to provide the information and understanding necessary for a Buyer to be able to make a decision as to whether or not Spanish Peaks is the right place for them and their family. No special techniques, just the truth and a comprehensive knowledge of the details in Spanish Peaks.
