Additional Information

RC grew up in Bozeman and can trace his Montana roots back to homesteaders in the Gallatin Valley in 1864. He graduated with a BA in history from Gonzaga University, then worked seasonally and traveled abroad until settling in central Washington to help run a microbrewery. Montana’s mountains never stopped calling to him, however, and he made the move home to work at a guest ranch in 2009. He stayed until the spring of 2021, serving as general manager during his final seasons.
