ADAM PACCIONE Red Tractor Pizza is built on partner and general manager Adam Paccione’s belief that change starts locally and we can all do our part. “I love people and I love this world,” he said. “I love food as well.”
the day it’s peace of mind,” he said. The model of keeping it local also means putting business back into the community. “You’re most likely supporting a friend or a family member or a friend of a friend,” he said.
These loves are all apparent in Red Tractor Pizza’s business model. The restaurant serves sustainable food sourced from local, organic suppliers. At one point, Paccione said he was visiting a local farm each week to talk about their processes. While the bottom line is the food’s taste, local food is better for your body and the environment, he said.
This support extends beyond food, as Paccione is also committed to promoting local artists and musicians through the business, through live music and art on the walls and the new “Farm to School” mural on the side of Red Tractor’s building.
“When it comes back to it, at the end of

AMBER BLAZINA For 20 years, Amber Blazina tried to talk herself out of following her passion. A high school oil painter, the art pulled at her heart. She would visit houses with interesting artwork and think to herself, “that’s what I want to do.” But she didn’t know how to get there. Painting would be a test of her creativity. There were doubts and vulnerabilities to work through, wrong assumptions that other people may be more talented. So instead of painting, Blazina tried graphic design. “It’s been a test of how much do I listen to my ego vs. how much do I listen to what I really feel and want,” she said.
Blazina passed the test, launching a new career as a painter with the help of the Montana Arts Council’s Montana Artrepreneup Program in 2017. Less than three years later, Blazina said she is “smashing five-year goals.” Now, she paints full-time, focusing on graphic design only when it helps those in her community. She is also focused on helping other artists achieve their visions. “I feel like pinching myself because I’m actually doing what I thought was unattainable, what was beyond my wildest dreams,” she said.

CARL NYSTUEN Carl Nystuen fell in love with D.A. Davidson while interning for the company as a student at Montana State University, where he was a crosscountry and track athlete. The financial industry, he said, is in his blood. “My family has always been in banking and business in the state of Montana,” Nystuen said. Nystuen’s drive goes back to his roots as a competitive runner. Each person must do their part to keep the team strong, he explained. He sees the same focus on teamwork in D.A. Davidson. After eight years with the company, Nystuen recently combined his books
ERICA AND JEFF DROGE Erica and Jeff Droge took a big leap of faith when they set off for Moonshine University. The fifth generation to work their family farm near Manhattan, Jeff and his two brothers had looked for years for ways to diversify. They’d talked about turning their potatoes and wheat from raw commodities into high-quality spirits. “We probably would still be in the bar talking,” Jeff said. “Erica put the boot to us.” The couple signed up for a crash course in Kentucky and were soon hooked. “The course itself was inspirational,” said Erica, 32, also a fifth-generation Montanan. “We found that passion and pulled our family funds together.” Three years ago, they opened their Dry 4
Hills Distillery tasting room at Four Corners. Today they’re producing vodkas, gins and whiskeys with names like Hollowtop, Montana Abbey, Wild Raspberry and Bin 7 Wheat Whiskey. Jeff, 33, said they’ve also crafting bulk distillates for other companies. They’re proud of Montana’s high-quality grains, potatoes and “unbelievable” water. “We are family owned, we are authentic,” Jeff said. “If we aren’t growing it, we aren’t making it.” Both business partners and married partners, they have one more proud achievement -- their baby daughter Brooklynn.

with long-time advisor Ron Matelich. The heart of Nystuen’s career is all about community. As a financial advisor, he helps families and individuals plan for the future. He then gets to see the outcome of his work when someone is able to retire or go to college. He also serves various organizations, from Family Promise to Big Brothers Big Sisters. Nystuen’s commitment has rubbed off on other co-workers. He helps lead service initiatives and get them involved. “It is a business that allows me to be a good member of the community,” Nystuen said.
SARA SAVAGE Sara Savage said she loves digging into numbers and solving challenging problems that communities struggle to manage. “We could always do something,” Savage said. “It might not be the perfect solution, or a long term solution, but we can always do something to help make our community better, stronger and healthier.” Savage, 37, is the associated director at Human Resource Development Council, which means she has her hands in a lot of different pots. She started working with the nonprofit in 2010 and said she learned quickly that she enjoyed supporting the population that was
experiencing homelessness. One of her notable accomplishments is working on a two-year study with Montana Healthcare Foundation and local partners that lead to an expansion of the organization’s Warming Center. “I built a strong connection in working and supporting what is, I believe, a basic fundamental right of housing for taking care of people in our community,” Savage said. Savage has worked for nonprofits her whole career because she said she can’t imagine doing any other kind of work. “I really want to be working to make the world better, to support the people and the planet,” Savage said.
Congratulations, Callan, for being awarded one of Bozeman’s 20 Under 40! Stockman Bank is proud to have you on our team. We thank you for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to our community!

CALLAN NAGY Callan Nagy wasn’t looking for a career when she became a bank teller at 20. She was working on a double major in marketing and Spanish and needed flexible hours. So she took the closing and weekend shift for Stockman Bank of Montana. She eventually got a third degree, this time in business. “I’ve always liked the numbers side of it and the people side of it,” Nagy, 31, said. “The company’s easy to fall in love with so I never had to choose whether I was staying or leaving.” A decade later, Nagy is the vice president branch manager of
CHASE ROSE Chase Rose, 29, said his family didn’t have a lot of money when he was growing up, which is ironic because now he raises millions of dollars for nonprofits in Montana and across the country. “I didn’t realize people gave away $1 million,” Rose said. “I had no idea that that was even possible.” By the time Rose was 19-years-old, he was traveling across the nation and fundraising for the Future Farmers of America. In about six months, Rose was able to raise $4.3 million for the organization. “That’s really when I took an interest in 6
fundraising, when I was 19, and it’s all I’ve done ever since,” he said. Rose, a partner at a consulting firm, said got into fundraising because he wanted to help nonprofits succeed and reach their full potential. Rose attributes his success to the FFA organization and living in Clyde Park. He said growing up in the small town forced him to get involved in everything, which has made him well rounded. “You see the importance of communities coming together and supporting one another for the right cause,” he said.

Stockman’s Bozeman Kagy Branch. She oversees the same positions she worked through. Nagy balances work with being a volunteer and mom and finds ways to combine her worlds. Her seven-yearold son comes along every Tuesday morning for the Gallatin Empire Lions Club, where she serves as the president before heading into the office. “I have a phenomenal team I get to be a part of everyday. I’m so glad I’ve done everything I have with this company. I’m able to say ‘I know that because I did it.’ Every new position I took, I just got to continue learning.”
ANDREW HURLBURT As Andrew Hurlburt fought on a fire crew in Glacier in 2002, Montana caught his attention through the smoke. Montana offered the hunting and fishing Hurlburt is drawn to — without too many people. He left the Forest Service with some savings and invested in his new roots. At 23, Hurlburt bought a small triplex in Bozeman. He moved in first and his friends followed. He upgraded each unit until it was ready to sell. “That was my first dabble in real estate,” Hurlburt, 37, said. “The financial markets didn’t make a lot of sense to me and real estate seemed so tangible. I enjoy working
on property. It’s an investment you have a bit more control over.” Two years ago Hurlburt founded Bozeman Real Estate Group. He and his wife had their son on the same day. He balances managing the sixth-highest volume real estate office in Bozeman with a long list of volunteer work and getting time with family. Bozeman’s growth keeps things interesting. “It gives some comfort knowing there’s some stability. It’s a community future generations will know and thrive in and have opportunity. That will be here for my son and his children down the road.”

BRITTANY EILERS Brittany Eilers didn’t expect her college internship to land her before a room full of nuclear scientists. She was 20 and leading a volunteerrecruitment presentation for Big Brothers Big Sisters. The work stood apart from her friends’ college jobs. “I fell in love with that type of work. I was like, ‘You can have a career helping people? This is awesome,’” Eilers, 33, said.
By nature she’s an introvert. She enjoys puzzles at home with her husband and reading alone. It recharges her for life as a voice for the nonprofit’s work. She’s the type of person who slips into advocacy at gatherings or out on the trails with friends.
Eilers has worked for Bozeman’s Thrive for 10 years, most recently as the Business Partnership Officer. She brought business partnerships up from $59,000 a year to $106,00.
“I get to advocate for these programs that I love, that’s hard to turn off,” she said. “Advocating for something you truly believe in, that’s when the connections happen.”

Eilers said there’s a misconception her job means she’s constantly asking for money. She said it’s about talking about Thrive’s work in the community.
SUZANNE BENDICK Suzanne Bendick has dedicated her life to helping people transition from pregnancy into parenthood, first as a postpartum doula, then as a lactation counselor and now as founder of Roots Family Collaborative. “After the birth of her own children, and the overwhelming experience it was to come to terms with her new reality and identity, Suzanne knew she needed to support other parents through that fragile transition,” Kerry Williams, a Roots Family Collaborative board
member, stated in her nominating letter. Bendick’s organization facilitates support groups, education and events such as the annual Moms Like Me celebration which features women telling their stories in an effort to open up dialog and understanding. She has furthered the mission of Roots Family Collaborative with a publication, Roots Wellness Guide, which one mother Amanda Kilty described as “a plethora of resources to get involved as a parent in a new community.”
SHANNON STOBER When Shannon Stober started Verve Exchange in 2016, the company was focused on training and workshops. Coaching services were added, but it wasn’t broad enough for Stober’s vision of bringing strategic thinking into the nonprofit sector. “I think folks understand why it’s so important in a business sense, but neglect why it is so important in community development,” she said. Nonprofits tend to be driven by urgency. If a kid is hungry, feed them. But Stober looks at problems with a business mind, asking questions like who else is doing this and what do they need? With Verve Exchange, Stober is a generalist, and often has trouble
explaining exactly what she does. “Life is really short and we’re all here with some sort of purpose,” she said. “I help people develop the skills to be purposeful.” Though articulating specifics may be difficult, Stober is able to see results in her work with organizations like Bozeman Area Community Foundation, World Montana and Red Ants Pants Foundation. She hates the word “empowered,” but hearing she empowered others makes her feel she is on the right path. “They tell me in the most sincere ways my lessons, presence and support changed them,” she said.

NICK GARBIEL Nick Garbiel moved to Bozeman from Vermont 20 years ago, drawn by the mountains and the way of life. “I’m a skier through and through,” he said. Now, he is the co-owner and chief operating officer of Inspired Madness, which includes Nova Café, Feed Café, Lot G Café and the Daily Coffee Bar’s two locations. In three and a half years, the company has grown from 25 to 85 employees.
When the opportunity to work in real estate presented itself, she said she jumped right in. She grew up playing sports, and her family was pretty competitive she said. So she likes being competitive with herself, a trait that has lent itself well to real estate. At 29, she’s the only Realtor in the state of Montana to be selected as one of Realtor Magazine’s 30 under 30 Class of 2018, wrote her nominator, Kelly Bresnahan. She also chairs the Gallatin Association of Realtors Young 10

Professionals Network and volunteers as a CAP mentor. She was born and raised in Bozeman, and she said she’s familiar with the community, where it’s been and where it’s headed. It’s a special place, she said. “People from out of state, they’re not moving to Bozeman because they have to,” she said. “They’re moving because they want to.” She said she knows many of the other recipients of the 20 under 40 award, and it has been fun to be in a group of people she knows so well. “It’s been kind of a fun surprise,” she said. “I wouldn’t have gotten here without mentors and without ERA Landmark.”

“I love the ideal that I actually get to help make (Bozeman) a better place now,” he said. Within the company, Garbiel said he takes people under his wing, helping them grow as individuals. For some, that means getting promoted within the company, like he was. For others, it means helping move them along their own career development.

producers, businesses and organizations. Recently, this includes guest chef nights for HRDC’s Fork & Spoon Homestyle Kitchen and a soup and bowl fundraiser for the Warming Center.
MEG RYAN Meg Ryan loves what she does, and she loves where she does it. The pilates instructor originally opened her studio in Bozeman and then moved it to Belgrade, where she’s expanded her practice into a collaborative health and wellness studio called Re: Alignment that includes Ayurveda, nutritional and dietic counseling, float therapy, health kinesiology, infrared sauna, massage, reiki and pilates. Along with her pilates work, Ryan works on adaptive technology with her partner. She also sits on the board of the Belgrade Community Coalition, has worked with the Bozeman Area Community Foundation and volunteered with MIST, which gives back by taking disabled veterans wake surfing and ice climbing in the winter. Ryan said she first got into pilates to help
with significant back issues she was having. “Without pilates, I wouldn’t be able to live the lifestyle I’m living,” she said. “I’m very active.” When she brought her practice to Belgrade, she was able to offer services never before housed under one roof, wrote Tiffany Maierle, who nominated her for the 20 under 40 award. “Her steadiness and belief in the town, and the residence, has been part of the catalyst to change as Belgrade becomes a new and improved town full of pride and hope,” Maierle wrote. The town inspires Ryan, she said. She loves that the community is tight-knit, that business owners know each other and there’s a small town atmosphere. “This community — it fills your cup, it fills your heart,” she said.

MAGGIE HAYES Maggie Hayes was visiting her brother in Bozeman when someone told her about a job opening as an assistant to Montana State University President Waded Cruzado. The previous decade had seen Hayes in Washington, D.C. and New York City, with various roles from presidential correspondence to event management. “For me, it was the first time all of my various positions in my past came into one,” Hayes said. But would she fit well in Bozeman? “I hadn’t lived in a small community in maybe, ever,” Hayes said. She saw the position and the town as a
LAUREN BRENDEL Lauren Brendel likes to say healthcare is her family’s business. But despite her family’s long history of working in the field, she found herself drawn more to communications, which is how she ended up in her position as the system director of communications and marketing at Bozeman Health. Growing up, she said the focus in her family was always on looking for ways to help others, a value that she has carried with her. She couldn’t work for an organization without believing in its mission, she said. In the two years she’s been at Bozeman Health, Brendel has elevated marketing efforts in several areas, her nominator 12
Jason Smith said. On top of that, she has also been serving on the board of directors for Thrive, volunteers as a CAP mentor and volunteers with Hope & the Holidays and parks clean-up days. A major motivator for Brendel is growth she said. Health and wellness has always been a priority for her and her family, and she enjoys helping promote it. She also enjoys the service aspect, she said, as she believes giving back is extremely important. “The fact that we are there for people when they are sick, but also promoting health and wellness and helping people get better is a huge motivator for me,” she said.

chance to get involved, seeing how her impact could be greater in a more rural area. Only knowing family allowed her to dive into non-profit organizations such as the Emerson Center and HAVEN as a chance to make friends and learn about the area. “I just saw it all as opportunity,” Hayes said. Hayes has shaped her position, now chief of staff to Cruzado, to work better for the institution and the community. She hasn’t done it alone, but is constantly bringing different people together to achieve the next goal. “I’m the person that puts all the pieces together,” she said.
JENNIFER COGLEY Jennifer Cogley wasn’t hired the first time she applied for a job at Murdoch’s Ranch & Home Supply, then Big R. Now, she is the growing company’s chief financial officer and has been described as its “financial backbone.” Cogley started in accounts payable in 2000, back when the company had only four stores, and has developed with the company, completing an accounting masters at MSU while working her way to controller and then CFO in 2014. She said Murdoch’s will open its 34th location in May, adding to a staff of more than 1,500 Cogley treats like family.
“People always say family comes first, but we’re one of the unique organizations that actually means it,” she said. Though her work load may be growing, Cogley said the guiding principles of the company allow her to make time for other passions in life, like her husband, twin daughters and stepdaughters. She is also in her 11th year with the the Bozeman Symphonic Choir and Bel Canto ensemble, which brings music to rural areas through the symphony’s Far Afield program. . “I want to share that passion,” she said.

FLORA MCCORMICK Flora McCormick has always worked with kids, even since she was a kid. So becoming a parenting coach seemed like a natural next step for her. McCormick is a professional counselor in addition to being a parenting coach, and she teaches free parenting workshops in the community and currently serves a consultant to Bozeman Child Care Connections.
And the Help Center is such a needed organization, she said. At the Help Center, she has helped organize Run for Your Life and several other events and began as a crisis hotline volunteer.
Working with kids, she said she realized parents were struggling, as there’s no guidebook to being a parent. So she gives parents tools and tips they can use to help them feel supported, she said.
“Flora is constantly involved in improving the lives of others,” her nominator, Jenn McMillan, wrote in her application. “The community is a better place having Flora in it.”
CHRISTOPHER COBURN Christopher Coburn has never felt a sense of community as strongly as he does in Montana. It’s part of what keeps him doing what he does, he said. Coburn is the program manager for the community health improvement and partnerships department at Bozeman Health, where he helps partner with the community to implement a strategic plan in meeting the community’s needs. He’s board chairman of EmpowerMT, an ACA marketplace navigator and he volunteers with Bridgercare and WWAMI. Much of that revolves around addressing vulnerable populations’ access to care. Looking at the health disparities and health outlooks of certain groups in Bozeman, he said there are some people who are affected by health outcomes than others. As a person of color who grew up in Montana, 14
he said he experienced how certain systems can be inaccessible for some people. It’s his job to remove those barriers, he said. And he’s worked hard to do so, said his nominee, Jason Smith. Since joining Bozeman Health, Smith said Coburn has made efforts to expand the reach and impact of Healthcare Connections, Bozeman Health’s mobile screening and outreach program. He’s nearly doubled the number of visits the can makes and more than doubled the number of vulnerable patients seen through the program, to name a few of his accomplishments. Seeing the real impact his work has on the community is what makes it all worth it, Coburn said. “Seeing some of the work we’re doing and how it’s contributing to success on a national level is really inspiring,” he said.
