Spencer Bradford - Board Chair
Spencer Bradford was born in the Salem, Massachusetts hospital around the time of the Watergate scandal. He grew up in a magical era of mostly unsupervised fun, often on and around the waters of New England piloting sail and power boats.
After being introduced to rock climbing and music, he spent as much time in the mountains and attending concerts as possible. Big mountains, rivers, and activism drew his dumb young self west to Olympia, Washington. The colder, less rainy climate and taciturn character of old Montana clicked with him, and he landed in Missoula full-time in 1994.
Over the years, he’s had jobs as varied as television producer/director, early-ish craft brewery brand manager, and a research station lab and facilities manager. He’s also worked as an avalanche educator, artisanal baker, concert organizer/stagehand, brand ambassador, copywriter, EMT, web designer, and presided over a few non-profit boards.
He likes citizen science, snow, the northern lights, clean big water, and great stories. He loves his family, who mostly tolerate and forgive him for some perverse ideas about what constitutes “fun.”
