BSAC REPRESENTATIVES

John Seelye, Chair
Born and raised in Litchfield Connecticut, John Seelye started his construction career on summer breaks while attending The University Of Connecticut. Because of his love for the mountains, John moved to the winter playgrounds of Summit County and then the Vail valley of Colorado to live the ski bum life while fine tuning his carpentry skills on high end mountain homes. Then with dreams of the Big Sky Tram and of starting his own construction business John moved to Big Sky in 1996 and started Big Sky Woodwork & Design in 1997 which transitioned into Big Sky Build, one of the premier construction companies in Southwest Montana. John and the Big Sky Build team are based right here in Big Sky and John and his family live, work, and play in our beautiful ski town. John has various community involvements including past terms on the Big Sky Fire Board. With investments in residential, commercial and land here in Big Sky, John has a firm grasp on the history, current status and future of Big Sky. ​

George Mueller
​

George Mueller was recently appointed to fill a vacancy on the Board after volunteering this past year on the Sustainability Committee. He and his wife, Pat, first started coming to Big Sky in 2003, and soon discovered that they enjoyed the summer activities as much as the winter sports. George is an avid wildlife photographer, and Pat is a regular on the Big Sky Golf course. Mostly retired as an attorney who concentrated in environmental and municipal law, George believes those skills can serve the BSOA well as it confronts sustainability, traffic and safety issues related to the ongoing development of the area. He believes that the size of the BSOA gives it an important voice in interacting with other stakeholders to address those issues.

Vanessa McGuire
​

Vanessa has been coming to Big Sky since 2012, has been a BSOA homeowner since 2016, and moved to Big Sky full time with her family in 2019. She began her career in real estate finance with JP Morgan in New York City and advanced to a private real estate consultancy in London UK. She returned to the US to pursue a PhD in City Planning at UPenn, where she focused on Public Private Development.  Vanessa graduated from Wellesley College, where she majored in Architecture and Economics, earned a Masters in City Planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and also holds an MBA from Columbia University. She now spends as much time as she can with her three growing children, husband, dog and two cats, while trying to contribute as much as possible to the community that has been so welcoming to her family.  She enjoys alpine and Nordic skiing, hiking, yoga, qigong, and reading.
​Maggie Good, Vice Chair
​Ms. Good has been a long-time member of the Big Sky community. She and her husband bought a Skycrest condo in early 1990. They later purchased property and built their home in the Cascade subdivision. Since then, they have purchased several more lots, showing a strong investment to this community. Ms. Good brings to the Board extensive experience in finance and strategic planning. She has served on numerous nonprofits' Boards, as well as having held the position of Chairperson in most of these organizations. In her business life, Ms. Good is experienced in management consulting, restructuring and corporate finance. By continuing to serve on the Board of the BSOA, she hopes to continue to contribute to the strategic growth of the community, being sensitive to the reasons we all enjoy Big Sky. With the growth Big Sky is experiencing, strong stewardship is critical to mapping the best path forward.
