Pete Talbot is a film and video producer, and splits his time between Bozeman and Missoula. He’s passionate about progressive politics, skiing and his two grandchildren (six-year-old Grace and six-month-old Taj, who live in Bozeman).
His grandfather bought a cabin on the Gallatin River, south of what is now Big Sky, in the early 1960’s. Pete has been hanging out there since he was twelve-years-old, as it is one of his favorite places on earth.
Pete works with WestRidge Creative, an advertising firm in Missoula that provides marketing for nonprofits, and coordinates issue and candidate campaigns. He also does freelance film and video production under the name Sterling Productions, a company he founded nearly 30 years ago. He’s produced pieces for the History Channel, Lifetime Television, Home and Garden Network, and ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
He’s a board member of Missoula’s Sustainable Business Council and treasurer for Missoula Community Access Television (MCAT). Politically, Pete has served on the Montana Democratic Party Executive Board and was chairman of the Missoula County Democrats.
He’s been married to Leah for 21 years, and has a stepson in Bozeman and a stepdaughter in Moscow, Idaho.
