Merry Christmas!

This fall I put together two iPhone videos for Big Sky Brewing Company, and I just realized I’ve yet to share this content on my own channel.
Here’s the second video, highlighting a brewery sponsored biathlon and a Montana hunting phrase the brewery embraces: “You can’t eat tracks!"
This fall I put together two iPhone videos for Big Sky Brewing Company, and I just realized I’ve yet to share this content on my own channel.
Here’s the first video, centered around an unusual, but typical, Big Sky Brewing Company idea to mountain bike to work via the Rattlesnake Recreation Corridor.

leadership lessons from shackleton
An individual I have great respect for, both professionally and as a friend recommended I read Endurance. He stated: “it’s the best book on leadership you can read." Coming from him, this was all the recommendation I need.

Big Sky Brewing Company has, once again, fielded a team to raise money and awareness for CANCER. Last year’s battle cry still rings true:

Here’s my latest iPhone video. The simple premise was to highlight an all important delivery for Big Sky Brewing Company.
