RICHARD BOHNE
DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION
Rich first joined Wilderness Club in 2011 as a Managing Partner, overseeing every aspect of the Resort before stepping into a VP of Operations role for five years. When development began to explode during the Covid years, he transitioned into his current role leading Development and Construction. Today, Rich serves as the General Contractor on every home built through Escalante Wilderness Construction, coordinating daily with a tight-knit team both in the office and out in the field, while also shepherding a number of special projects, including the forthcoming Clubhouse, which he calls the accomplishment he’s most looking forward to completing.
Rich believes Northwest Montana only gets better the longer you’re here, and the unmatched beauty, outdoor lifestyle, and slower pace keep him grounded. When he’s not on a job site, you’ll find him golfing, fly fishing, or e-biking through the forest, though nothing beats time with his eight (soon to be nine) grandchildren. Under Rich’s leadership, the construction team has streamlined the build process to maximize results while keeping clients informed every step of the way.

SHONDI BOHNE
INTERIOR FINISHES & CLIENT EXPERIENCE
Shondi has been part of the Wilderness Club family on and off since 2012. She originally joined the sales team, drawing on seven years of experience as a Realtor in Nevada, then stepped away to focus on raising her four children before rejoining the construction department three years ago. Today, she guides new homeowners through one of the most exciting parts of the building process, selecting the finishes that will make their home uniquely theirs, while collaborating closely with the full construction team on every project.
Recently, Shondi completed a diploma in interior design, a credential that has deepened her ability to help clients make confident, beautiful choices. She loves Montana’s mild winters, stunning summers, and (happily) the lack of mosquitos, and when she’s not working, she’s usually traveling to visit her kids and grandkids. Shondi’s advice to future homeowners: this is a team that genuinely enjoys working together, takes pride in the craft, and truly cares about the people they’re building for.

Amanda White
SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER
Amanda joined Wilderness Club in 2016 and has grown right alongside the organization, serving in nearly every leadership seat along the way: Controller, Real Estate Coordinator, Assistant General Manager, General Manager, Managing Director, and Marketing Director. That breadth of experience now fuels her role as Senior Project Manager, where she works hand-in-hand with the field crew and subcontractors to coordinate schedules, keep communication flowing between every moving piece, and manage the day-to-day priorities that keep projects on track.
What Amanda is most proud of is watching the whole development come together: the growing community, the homes built, the new amenities, and breaking ground on the Clubhouse. A true Montanan at heart, she spends her free time fishing, hunting, boating, paddleboarding, camping, horseback riding, hiking, golfing, and field training her two yellow labs. Amanda wants every homeowner to feel like an active part of the build. Her team provides weekly updates, coordinates closely, and handles the tough stuff, so clients can focus on the excitement of their new home.
