The Montana Lifestyle.

Mar 20

Montana isn’t just a place—it’s a way of life. It’s early mornings in the mountains, crisp air filling your lungs as you take in the untouched beauty that surrounds you. It’s raising your family in a place where values still matter, where neighbors lend a hand, and where adventure is always just outside your front door.

For my family and me, Montana is more than home—it’s a place that feeds the soul. Whether we’re fishing before a real estate showing, hiking trails with my daughter’s, or spending long fall days in the woods for hunting season, every moment here is an experience.

If you’re considering making Montana home, or even just investing in property here, let me give you a glimpse into what living the Montana lifestyle truly means.

1. Wide Open Spaces & True Privacy

Montana gives you something most places can’t—elbow room.

For me, there’s nothing better than having land, space, and the freedom to do what I want without neighbors on top of me. It’s why I love helping people find ranches, off-grid cabins, and homes where they can enjoy real privacy.

Whether you’re looking for a 1,000+ acre ranch, a mountain retreat, or just a few acres to call your own, Montana offers room to roam.

For my family, that means long walks with our dog Boone, teaching Charlee & Faith about the outdoors, nature, and self-reliance, and having a yard big enough to throw a football or set up a shooting range.

Why people love it:
✔ No overcrowding – You can actually hear nature instead of city noise.
✔ Total privacy – Whether it’s hunting land or a lakeside retreat, you get your own space.
✔ Freedom to live how you want – Raise cattle, plant a garden, build your dream shop—it’s all possible.

If that kind of lifestyle speaks to you, I can help you find the perfect property to make it a reality.

2. The Outdoors Are a Way of Life

Montana isn’t just about living near nature—it’s about living in it.

For my family, that means:
🎣 Fishing trips before work – I love taking Charlee out early in the morning to fish before real estate showings.
🏹 Hunting in the fall – The backcountry, the challenge, and the reward—it’s my favorite time of year.
⛷ Skiing & Snowboarding – Whitefish Mountain is our go-to in the winter.
🚤 Days on Flathead Lake – Summer wouldn’t be complete without time on the water.

Montana offers world-class hunting, fishing, hiking, and skiing—all in your backyard. Whether you want to ride horses on your own land, fly fish a private creek, or ski down powder-covered slopes, it’s all possible here.

Adventure is always just a step away.

3. A Community That Feels Like Family

One thing I love about Montana? People still wave at you on the road.

Montana is built on small-town values, tight-knit communities, and looking out for one another. Even in towns like Whitefish, Columbia Falls, or Kalispell, you’ll find a blend of locals, ranchers, and newcomers who all share a deep appreciation for the Montana way of life.

Where we connect:
🔥 Local Rodeos & Fairs – A Montana tradition that never gets old.
🎶 Live Music & Festivals – Under the Big Sky Festival is always a highlight.
🍻 Breweries & Saloons – Whether it’s a beer after a long day or a quick bite with friends, there’s always a good spot.
🤝 Helping Hands – When someone needs something, the community steps up.

That’s the kind of place I want my daughters to grow up in—a place where people matter more than things.

4. Living Simply, Living Fully

I’ve learned something over the years—Montana slows you down, but in the best way.

When I first started in real estate, I was always on the go, chasing deals, and grinding non-stop. But Montana has a way of reminding you to step back and enjoy the little things.

For me, that’s:
☕ Drinking coffee on my porch in the crisp morning air.
🌅 Watching the sunset over the mountains with my wife Erin.
🔥 Sitting by the fire after a long day, feeling accomplished.
👣 Teaching my daughters the value of hard work, resilience, and living with purpose.

Montana isn’t about flashy cars, busy streets, or material things. It’s about self-reliance, family, and living life on your terms.

5. Finding Your Own Piece of Montana

I’ve helped a lot of people find their dream home here in Montana. But it’s never just about the house—it’s about the lifestyle.

🏡 Do you want a private ranch where your family can create a legacy?
🏞 A mountain retreat where you can escape and recharge?
🌅 A home with wide-open views, where life moves a little slower?

There’s a limited number of properties that truly offer the Montana lifestyle—and the demand is only growing.

If you’re serious about finding the right place, I’m here to make the process simple, efficient, and stress-free.
