Raised in Bozeman, Montana, Hillary’s roots run deep in the West.
Her family’s ranching heritage and her parents’ small business ownership instilled in her a strong work ethic built on integrity, grit, and a belief that a handshake still means something. Those early experiences shaped who she is today and continue to influence the
values that guide her in business.

With over a decade of experience advising families and business owners, Hillary brings a personal, down-to-earth approach to wealth management. Her deep commitment to exceptional service, in a world where it’s increasingly rare, is rooted in her upbringing.

She believes the client comes first and develops personalized and resilient financial plans to help clients feel confident in their future. Hillary‘s goal is to be the trusted advisor that families can rely on to help them navigate this wonderfully unpredictable thing called life.

A proud Bobcat, Hillary graduated from Montana State University in Bozeman. She is a former athlete, playing many sports, but predominantly track and field. Today, she still loves to play sports and enjoys playing with her two amazing kids — looking forward to the day they can outplay her.

Hillary’s biggest joys come from spending time in Montana’s amazing outdoors with her kids. She loves fly fishing, skiing, shooting sporting clays, and hiking in the mountains. Hillary cherishes living in her home state of Montana and wants to see her family and community thrive.
