Agent Details

Meet Susan

My ties to Montana go back to 1986 when my husband, Tom, and I purchased 26 acres in the North Fork area, just west of Glacier Park. After spending time and enjoying the summers at our cabin, we decided to make Bigfork our permanent home in 2005. I served as Chairperson of the American Cancer Relay for Life, am currently the Tennis Tournament Chairperson for the Friends of Bigfork Fire Department Fundraiser and member of the board, and a Realtor for National Parks Realty, so I am fully involved in my community. My husband, Tom, served as an instructor for the United States Air Force and is a retired airline pilot. Our son, Karl, served as a Lieutenant in the United States Air Force. He graduated from Rocky Mountain College in Billings with a degree in Aviation Management and was a member of the Montana National Guard, where he proudly served his country on a deployment to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2008-2009 and a deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in 2012. He is currently starting a charter airline based out of Kalispell.
I was born and raised in Texas, hold a Master’s Degree from the University of Houston, and have taught at the college level. I have also run my own accounting business serving an oil & gas firm in Texas for the past 40 years. I have had my real estate license for 16 years and have over 103 million dollars in sales.  We have traveled extensively around the world but throughout my travels, no place holds a candle to the beauty of Montana.
