 Our Employees

SWMMBA was an all-volunteer organization for over 3 years as we grew the nonprofit from a simple grassroots effort, into the organization you see today. The Board of Directors recognized that we could not continue to grow the organization without some significant effort, effort that the Board could no longer expand to complete. The Board decided to open a position and hire our first employee in March 2019, in an effort to grow our organization to better serve our mission statement.

SWMMBA Employees are the biggest supporters of our mission to build, maintain, and advocate for trails which you can ride your bike on. They are here to serve that mission and help us ensure our sport and our experiences live on. They also love having fun on their bikes, ask them to go for a ride with you some time! And please remember to thank them for their service to protect cycling in Southwestern Montana.

Zach Bailey

Zach grew up in central Colorado where he found his passion for the outdoors that eventually led him to Montana a decade ago. Since, he has immersed himself with backcountry snowboarding/snowmobiling and exploring much of Montana’s prime biking trails.

As Cofounder of the Bozeman Splitfest, an annual GNFAC fundraiser, Zach values community growth and inclusion. Zach spends his winters teaching both motorized and non-motorized avalanche education along with snowmobile guiding in the Big Sky area.

Zach grew up riding bikes with his family where he has spent much time on a saddle chasing down his two younger brothers Ian and John. With his drive to explore and a keen eye for trail flow/design, Zach is thrilled to join the SWMMBA family and continue its great efforts in the growth of the Southwest Mountain bike community.
