Media Contact: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sun West Ranch Welcomes New Ranch Managers Shared-ranch in southwestern Montana adds experienced Montana natives to its team Cameron, Mont., (November 16, 2006) ¾ Sun West Ranch, a unique shared-ranch community in southwestern Montana, welcomes Chuck and Sandra Hull as new ranch managers. The Hulls provide full-service management of the 2,000-acre property, including general and financial management, homeowner services, sales, marketing, and year-round property-owner support. Sun West Ranch offers three miles of private Madison River access along with breathtaking views of the Madison Valley, Gravelly Mountain Range, Madison Mountain Range, Continental Divide and miles of horseback riding on the property and in Beaverhead National Forest. Both Montana natives, the Hulls most recently moved from Laurel, Mont. and bring years of professional experience to Sun West Ranch. Chuck is in charge of general and financial management for Madison Valley Properties and the Sun West Ranch Homeowners Association. In addition, he is working with state and local government on planning and development projects including obtaining permits for the final development phase at the Ranch. Prior to joining Sun West Ranch, Chuck was the vice president of finance and chief financial officer for Montana Silversmiths Company. He also participated in the development of a gold mining operation in South Dakota and then moved into manufacturing and marketing roles with Landstrom’s Black Hills Gold Company. He earned his way through college by working on fire suppression and as a smoke jumper for the United States Forest Service. Chuck spent his early career with the Anaconda Minerals Company and Atlantic Richfield Company working in various states throughout the West. Sandra, who has had a successful career in residential and commercial real estate, manages the sales and marketing duties at the Ranch. Sandra had a busy summer giving Ranch tours and getting acquainted with Sun West Ranch homeowners and community real-estate brokers. In addition to her real-estate experience, Sandra has managed two businesses owned by the Hulls — a floral shop in Butte, Mont. and a dinner club in Spearfish, S.D. “Ranch management at Sun West Ranch is a 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week job,” said Ted Gildred, who is Sun West Ranch’s developer along with his wife, Heidi. “We have a responsibility to our homeowners, the community, and the land to be great stewards. Because Chuck and Sandra both grew up on ranches in Montana, they are passionate about preserving the ranch lifestyle and know what is involved. This, combined with their stellar work experience, gives me full confidence in their abilities to run the Ranch.” “Sun West is such a unique development, not only in its beauty but also in its dedication to preserving the landscape and history of the area,” said Sandra Hull. This dedication resonates with Ted, Heidi and all of the homeowners here at Sun West Ranch. Chuck and I are excited to be part of such a progressive, distinctive development.” About Sun West Ranch Sun West Ranch is the antithesis of a “typical development.” From its active community outreach to its public stand on conservation and preservation, Sun West Ranch strives not to just simply develop a new community, but to preserve a thousands-of-years-old legacy and ranching way of life for generations to come. Sun West’s most recent dedication
to the community is shown in the creation
of Project Giveback, an initiative
to help raise $1 million toward building
a new hospital in Ennis. Sun West
Ranch developers Ted and Heidi Gildred
pledged $500,000 to be matched by
the community. For more information,
