“I joined Bear Mountain Ranch in 2006. I currently serve as Ranch Manager and enjoy combining my legal career with newly developed entrepreneurial skills. I am fully responsible for our Risk Management, Continuous Quality Improvement, Marketing & Sales, Personnel and Budget. Since joining Bear Mountain Ranch there has been a significant improvement in all of the areas above.

In 2007 along with Bear Mountain Ranch, LPA, I worked to establish Bear Mountain Bison, LLC.”

"Working with hunters, meeting sporting enthusiasts at shows and customizing packages is a real thrill for me when booking clients. To hear the positive comments and accolades when our guests leave the ranch is what makes me happy. My role in the bison company is to locate live bison and then purchase them."

“I moved out to Colorado in 1985 and have been here for 26 yrs. I started working at the Ranch 3 years ago doing all the onsite cleaning at all the houses and lodging. Then, I started helping in the office a few days a week while subbing at the High School.

My office job became full time now and I do all the bookwork for Bear Mountain Bison, shipping, catering and whatever is needed to be done. I enjoy working here and have learned so much about our bison at the ranch and about the growing bison meat industry."

“I have lived in Colorado all my life and in the Kremmling area for over 30 years. I started working at Bear Mountain in August, 2010. I really enjoy my job at Bear Mountain. I work with a group of friends, the opportunities of the outdoors, and the variety in my job. The bison are so different from cattle that it has been very interesting learning about them and exciting to watch the herd grow, as well, as the growth of the industry."
