Board & Staff

As the Executive Director for the Sheridan Community Land Trust, Brad is lucky to work with a great staff and Board of Directors. Sheridan Community Land Trust’s focus on access, conservation, and history all resonate with Brad. Originally from eastern Iowa, his entire professional career has been in conservation and natural resources in the West. Prior to joining Sheridan Community Land Trust, Brad worked for Montana State University Extension and with The Nature Conservancy in Montana. Brad enjoys being outside and can often be found on a bicycle, spending the weekend hunting, or locating new places to camp.

Chris comes to SCLT with a background in fisheries science and nearly a decade of experience in community journalism. When looking for a new adventure, he found the land trust’s core missions of conservation, trails and recreation, and historic preservation lined up well with his passion for the outdoors – especially anything fishing. From that first drive up Red Grade to each trip into Tongue Canyon, Chris knew Sheridan was the kind of community to which he wanted to belong.

Tami designs trails, wrangles volunteers, and brings a polished shine to new trail construction. Originally from MN, Tami headed west for adventure and can’t remember a time when being active outdoors was not a driving force in her life. Tami and her husband Jim landed in Sheridan 22 years ago. In that time they’ve gotten to know and love Sheridan’s outdoor spaces well. Gravitating towards SCLT came naturally and Tami is thrilled to help enhance outdoor recreation opportunities for her community.

Susan is a Buffalo, WY native and grew up backpacking and cross-country skiing. She is grateful for the opportunity to work for an organization whose mission of conservation, access and history so closely align with her own sensibilities. She has returned to her roots from the Seattle area where her career focused on business operations and project management. She is enjoying a renewed acquaintance with her beloved Big Horn Mountains while getting to know the local community.

Carrie brings a background with community engagement projects, new media, and event coordination. Carrie began her time with SCLT as an AmeriCorps VISTA in historical education. She will continue to work on projects to tell our local history through the lens of our natural resources, landscapes, and diverse cultures. Carrie is also a working artist and enjoys doing some day hiking in the Bighorn Mountains and SCLT trails.

Originally from Michigan, Ronnie brings years of trail building experience to the SCLT team. Ronnie works for both Sheridan Community Land Trust and Antelope Butte Recreation Area.

During her year with SCLT, Petrie will work with Historical Educator Carrie Edinger to create new ways to preserve and tell the stories of the people and cultures who have lived in Sheridan County over time, recruit and organize volunteers, build upon the success of the inaugural run of Discovery Sessions and help SCLT reach an even wider audience on social media and in the community. Prior to joining SCLT, Petrie earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Bowling Green State University, spent a year abroad in Scotland, and served as a substitute teacher in her hometown.

Maggie, as part of a new partnership between SCLT and Sheridan County Conservation District (SCCD), will aid watershed health throughout the area as a Watershed Health AmeriCorps through the Big Sky Watershed Corps, part of the Montana Conservation Corps.

Maggie will help SCLT develop a watershed health program that will work with local landowners on ways to help sustain local water for all of the people, ranches, plants and animals whose lives it nourishes. At SCCD, she will assist with water quality sampling, data management, and mapping related to water quality improvement projects.
