Taralee was born and raised on a very large crop and cattle ranch in eastern Montana, and she knows a thing or two about the principles of patience, hard work, faith, perseverance and teamwork. Not to mention, she knows a thing or two about herding cats, er, cattle!

Taralee earned her Bachelor’s in Business and has been working with small business since 1997 when she entered into business banking with a large national bank. Taralee served a variety of different sized business owners during her 22-year career in banking and her favorite job was providing loans for the purchase of small businesses.

The corporate world was not aligning with Taralee’s vision, goals, morals, values and how she really wanted to work with small business owners. So, she left her banking career to enter her final and last chapter serving business owners with business brokerage services. The sale of businesses was no stranger to Taralee with her extensive banking background and M&A experience, and now she was able to work very closely with business owners and become that true trusted advisor she envisioned for herself and her business owner clients.

Taralee enjoys spending time with her husband, Chris and their fur kids. Taralee also enjoys beekeeping, gardening, canning, cooking, road tripping, baking, crafting, fostering kittens, and volunteering with her church.
