I grew up in Big Sky long before the hotel had its glossy renovations and curated rustic charm. Back then it was a creaky old lodge with mismatched furniture and a front desk bell that stuck in the winter. My mother worked housekeeping, my father worked maintenance, and I learned early that hospitality isn’t about smiling — it’s about solving problems before anyone else notices they exist. I started at the front desk at seventeen, answering phones and checking in hikers who smelled like pine and rain. I loved it. I loved the rhythm, the stories, the way people softened when they felt taken care of. I worked my way up — night audit, guest services, assistant manager — until the day the owners handed me the keys and said, “It’s yours now.” Running The Big Sky Hotel is like conducting an orchestra. Every department has its own tempo, its own personality, its own potential to fall apart if I’m not paying attention. But I thrive in that. I like knowing that I can take chaos and turn it into comfort. Adam came into my life like a quiet sunrise. A woodworking teacher with calloused hands and a gentle voice, he grounded me in ways I didn’t know I needed. Together we built a family — Tracie with her ambition, Layla with her fire, and Ophelia with her soft‑edged curiosity. They’re my center, even when I’m sprinting through the lobby with a radio in one hand and a clipboard in the other. I’m not the loudest person in the room, but I’m always the one people look to when things go sideways. And in Big Sky, things go sideways often.
