Brian Bjortomt – President
I’ve been honored to be the long-standing president of the Garden City Flyers, I run premier disc golf events, and I’m Montana’s PDGA State Coordinator.
Matthew Doughten – Vice President
My name is Matt and while I am relatively new to Missoula, I am not new to disc sports. I come from a diverse sports background playing competitively in various sports in High School. When my older friends visited home from college they brought Ultimate Frisbee back with them, and that’s when I first found disc.
I went on to be highly competitive in Ultimate for a decade and tangentially played disc golf recreationally. I have thrown discs for more years than I haven’t, which says more about my middle age than anything else. Like many, I discovered a love for Disc Golf in 2020 when organized Ultimate folded, and getting outside to throw became my sanctuary. In my professional life, I am an engineer in the Solar PV industry and I hope to bring my professional experience in getting highly complicated power systems built to the disc golf community. I aim to grow the sport and get more courses accessible to the public in Missoula.
Martin Bell – Treasurer
Back in 2020, I started playing leagues in Missoula with the Garden City Flyers. I enjoyed the vibe so much that it became part of my routine, and eventually started competing and playing in tournaments. My wife and I travel around the state and beyond to play and enjoy everyone we meet along the way. I’m happy to be on the board for GCF.
Natasha Bell – Secretary
Hello, my name is Natasha Bell! My husband was the first person to introduce disc golf to me. It was around 3-4 years ago in 2019 or 2020, during the pandemic, at some point. It took me a while in the beginning to understand the magic to disc golf. Now I couldn’t be more obsessed or see myself doing anything but chucking plastic. I have found a real hobby and passion for it. All my free time is spent disc golfing; traveling & playing in tournaments, weekend rounds, leagues, any extra time off, etc.and I wouldn’t change a thing. By being on the board, I want others to get inspired by disc golf, get outside and get involved with the community. I hope to give a fresh voice with a female perspective to be welcoming to all, to grow the sport and our club!
Tyler Callsen – At Large
I have been living in Missoula for the last 15 years and started playing disc golf at the beginning of the pandemic. With disc golf, I finally found something that continuously excites me every day. I opened a disc golf store in February 2021 and disc golf has become a huge part of my life. I’m excited to be able to give my time and resources to the sport I have come to love.
