Growing up on a small family farm in the shadows of Yellowstone National Park, Clyde Seely

learned the importance of hard work, strong family ties and making the best of any

circumstance.He uses warm and engaging stories with nuggets of interesting insights and

lessons learned in relating the trials and successes of his life's story.

Then opportunity knocked.

Follow Clyde's first-hand experienceas he relives the conflicts and challenges that transformed

the young farm boy into a successful businessman who helpedmake West Yellowstone,

Montana into the renowned destination town it has become.

Whether it was increasing tourism with the Painted Buffalo project, leading the massive effort of

fighting the 1988 fires of Yellowstone, keeping public winter access open to Yellowstone, or a

variety of community improvements, Clyde's innovative solutions, optimism and faith helped to

change the course of this region.

Like a pebble tossed in a pond causes ripples to spread across the entire surface, key people

have had a positive influence on Clyde's life. He has cast his own pebbles, as he has strived to

make life better for others who pause to know him or the great town of West Yellowstone.
