John Stowe - DirectorTerm Ends: 09/30/2023
Mr. Stowe’s first impression of Big Sky happened on a ski trip with friends and family in 1998. Since that day, he has become very passionate about the environment, community, and experiences this sacred place has to offer. So much that he bought a home in the early 2000s and recently became a full-time resident as part of his retirement. His hope in joining the board is that he can help the community grow while retaining the balance and magic BIG SKY has to offer. Mr. Stowe’s professional background includes leadership roles in Human Resources at global organizations, and for the last ten years, he ran a successful family business. His skills in facilitating discussions as well as working toward a common goal has lent itself in previous HOA roles he held in his former community including President. As an avid outdoor enthusiast and someone who cares about safety, Mr. Stowe has spent the last several decades as a certified volunteer firefighter, assistant Fire Chief, and has been certified as a Paramedic/First Responder. Being involved in the community is incredibly important to Mr. Stowe and helping the community thrive and continue to preserve what makes it so special to all of us is a conversation that he wants to be part of and lend his support.
