Sam Forstag moved to Missoula to go to the University of Montana, and after graduating, he decided to join the US Forest Service, where he worked his way up to becoming a Smoke Jumper. He served as the Vice President of the Smoke Jumpers Union until he quit his job to run for Congress. Sam has also done a lot of volunteer work, including starting the Montana Coalition to Solve Homelessness. You can find out more about him at samformontana.com.
Thanks to my sponsors, Buchanan Capital, The Foundation for Montana History, and The Montana Plan, as well as many private donors.
And a solemn thank you to my good friend Phil Aaberg, who agreed to let me use his music when I first started this podcast three years ago. We lost Phil to cancer this past Saturday, and I want to offer my condolences to Patty and the rest of the family.
