While still a teenager, Sally began designing and creating clothing for performers and major recording artists in her home town of San Francisco. She attended Antioch College before moving to Ibiza, Spain. By the age of 24, Sally had built her own fashion business as the founder and president of Salaminder, a designer clothing company. When she sold Salaminder in 1990, the firm had over 1,200 active retail accounts including the prestigious Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue stores as well as Harrods’s in London.

During this time, newspapers from around the world did stories on this dynamic young entrepreneur who would roller skate from one end of her factory to the other.

Sally “retired” to raise and train 3-Day event horses on her ranch in Kansas. Her interest in this field led directly to her role as one of the three founders of Ariat International, now the leading equestrian boot company in the world. Utilizing her own sales and public relations background as the CEO of a clothing design firm, Sally concentrated on setting up the marketing and product introduction for the Ariat line.

As one of Kansas City’s best-known home chefs, Sally’s passion for cooking established her credentials as a writer and editor; Sally was the food editor of Kansas City Magazine and the entertaining editor for Home Design Magazine for five years.

Sally’s wide range of interests has led her to travel all over the world. It was a conference for one of her international projects that first brought her to Bozeman in 2002 and she immediately fell in love with the region and permanently moved her family to Montana the following year.

Sally has served on many civic boards and as an enthusiastic Bozeman resident, she has chaired the Museum of the Rockies Wine Classic for 2006 and 2007. The 2006 Wine Classic was the most financially successful gala in the history of Montana.

Sally is very happily married with three children she adores. Sally loves to cook, garden, and literally trek the world, having covered a chunk of the Himalayas. She loves to design and build luxury houses, and is an active investor in Gallatin Valley real estate.
