It’s been nearly 30 years, but Brian can still see the incredulous look on District Court Judge Sommerville’s face when he told him that he was planning to give up a respected and coveted position as his law clerk and exchange it for a backpack to work in wilderness programs. As their conversation progressed, he came to understand Brian’s passion for the power of these types of educational experiences and the transformative opportunities they can provide individuals; the Judge’s look of skepticism shifted to one of support. Brian remains fully dedicated to that choice today.
Brian’s nonprofit career began at the North Carolina Outward Bound School, followed by Yosemite National Institutes (now NatureBridge) and the Yosemite Fund (now the Yosemite Conservancy). During his tenure at these organizations, he served in a wide range of positions – Instructor, Program Director, Special Projects Manager and Interim Executive Director. He has also worked in the for-profit sector as Director of Operations for a publishing company in San Jose, CA. All of these organizations share a common thread – they provide transformative opportunities for individuals. And that passionate thread continues for Brian as he becomes a member of the Community Foundation of Teton Valley team. He is thrilled to live in Teton Valley and support the Foundation’s philanthropic efforts to effectively invest in ideas and people.
Brian graduated from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis with B.A. in Political Science and later earned a J.D. degree at the William Mitchell College of Law (now Mitchell Hamline School of Law) in St. Paul, Minnesota. In his spare time, Brian is an avid mountain biker and telemark skier.

Gene grew up in a suburb on the south side of Chicago and has a BS in Finance from DePaul University. During his 20 year career, Gene worked with several group health insurance companies. Early on in Gene’s career, he decided a skiing sabbatical was in order. This is when he discovered and fell in love with the Tetons.
Not willing to live in a garage or out of his car, Gene returned to Chicago after three years to work and save for a permanent life in the mountains. That time came in February 2011 when he and his wife, Jenny, retired to Teton Valley permanently. They chose Teton Valley not only for the natural beauty but also for the outstanding community.
Gene is making up for a misspent youth and young adulthood by giving back to our Teton Valley Community. In addition to his Community Foundation of Teton Valley board service, Gene also sits on the board of Teton Valley Trails and Pathways, and Teton County Idaho Search and Rescue, while volunteering with other nonprofits when he can. When not volunteering, Gene can be found mountain biking, hiking, on one of his many pairs of skis, or at the Pub usually with his dog, Darly.

Ben grew up in South Carolina and earned a B.S. in Business Management from Clemson University.
Born with a fascination for airplanes and a love of the outdoors Ben pursued the first of those passions by learning to fly at 17, and ultimately retired from American Airlines as a senior captain. And it was through his travels that he discovered the beauty (and bugless, low humidity) of the Western US. He discovered Teton Valley in the late ’90s, shortly thereafter purchased a home here, and began scheming on how to live here full-time.
Ben keeps busy flying a corporate jet, has multiple business interests, piddles with little airplanes, but more than anything enjoys biking and hiking with his wife Joni.

After 6 years on the board, she elected to take a break, but the calling of the Community Foundation is strong and she rejoined the board after a 3 year hiatus!

In giving my time and efforts to this foundation, I feel like I can be a benefit to others.”

Tom and Stella followed their son to the Tetons beginning a decade ago. After his 2ndwinter in the Tetons, they realized their son George was never coming back east. In 2019 he married a local Jackson girl and they live here in Victor. Their winter visits were magical, but when they visited one summer, they were smitten and found a home on the river during the pandemic. It instantly felt like HOME and they found a community of people and places they cherish and adore. Stella says, “We must have done something right in this life, to be so lucky to call this home!”
Tom and Stella have 2 sons and daughters-in-law and 5 grandchildren plus, at last count, 3 dogs who love the snow… and 3 cats guarding the farmhouse back in Alabama. Their daughter-in-law, Jenna, is with the Animal Adoption Center in Jackson.
Stella is truly honored to serve on the Board of the Community Foundation of Teton Valley. It is so refreshing to see a community work together for the greater good. The mission of the CFTV is one of the many reasons Tom and Stella fell in love with this valley.

Serving on the Community Foundation of Teton Valley is the ultimate privilege in nonprofit work. This organization serves the entire network of greatly needed and diverse nonprofits in this valley. As a former nonprofit leader, the fundraising arm of the Community Foundation was a vital component in our ability to accomplish our work.
Pam and her husband, Tom, came to the valley from Wyoming in 2010 and immediately felt like they were “home.” Pam moved here full-time in 2015 when she accepted the executive director position of the Education Foundation of Teton Valley. Tom retired two years later and joined her in paradise. Both come from a background of community service and believe that contributing time, talent, and treasure to our valley is vital to a happy and productive life.
Pam helped with the school bond campaign, raised significant funds for the school district, worked with her board and donors to create the Education Foundation’s endowment, and, after her retirement, begin supporting the City of Victor through the Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
Tom and Pam have three sons, two daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren, plus two lovable collies who love the valley as much as they do.
