a.k.a our guru

Uwe has been the Finance Director for Swan Valley Connections since 2010.  Uwe has over 35 years of experience as a financial officer for both non-profit and for profit organizations, ranging from secondary school systems to a brewery distributing regionally to eight states in the Pacific Northwest.

As Finance Director, Uwe works directly with the board of directors to maintain fiscal controls and provide financial planning oversight, including budgeting, financial reporting and cost analysis.  In addition, Uwe is responsible for all accounting & reporting related to individual grant funding requirements, specific program areas & initiatives, and state & federal reporting and compliance.

Uwe lives with his wife, Rhoni, on a creek in the Salish Mountains outside of Trego, Montana surrounded by Forest Service land, where he is obsessed with setting game cameras and tracking wildlife. He has a passion for photography and wandering aimlessly with his chihuahua heart companion, appreciating with senses wide open this fabulous world we live in.

Uwe’s also got impeccable style.
