Brenda grew up in Ennis, Montana, and moved to Bozeman, where she studied accounting and management at Montana State University. Shortly after graduating, she joined the Owen Legacy Group (2000) and has been instrumental in the enormous satisfaction our clients have enjoyed over the years. She specializes in making sense of incredibly complicated situations and communicates planning options with much consideration, thought, and care. Her exceptional attention to detail and remarkable memory serve our clients in ways they never imagined possible. Brenda and her husband have three daughters and two granddaughters, and she cherishes her time with them camping, hiking, attending football games (Go Cats!), or eating out. She is a wonderful listener, a loyal and honest friend, and an eager shopping companion.

CA Insurance License #4249913 D.A. Davidson CA Insurance License #0763476

Growing up in Bozeman, Morgan always knew this is where he wanted to live. However, after graduating from Bozeman High, he went east to attend college at Wesleyan University and stayed to learn the asset management ropes in New York City during the 2008 financial crisis. After three exciting years, the Bridgers started calling, and Morgan returned to his hometown and the Owen Legacy Group. His clarity of vision is surpassed only by his capacity to connect with those around him and his involvement in our community. He loves everything about Montana: the pace of life, the friendly people, and unparalleled access to the outdoors. He is an accomplished skier and fisherman and enjoys playing hockey, mountain biking, playing golf, and eating out downtown. Morgan has a passion for stock picking and portfolio management, and even dabbles in real estate. 

 

Carrie McAleer FPQP CWS Financial Paraplanner Qualified Professional in BozemanCarrie McAleer, CWS®, FPQP
Senior Registered Practice Coordinator

Carrie joined the Owen Legacy Group in 2013 after spending her first two years with D.A. Davidson in Moscow, Idaho, following her graduation from the University of Idaho. Though the Moscow office was disappointed to see her go, Carrie was determined to live in Bozeman. This determination is a fundamental part of who Carrie is and ultimately what drives her both personally and professionally. The Owen Legacy Group could not provide the level of service that our clients have come to expect without Carrie. Her drive to be the most knowledgeable, understanding, timely, and detail-oriented member of our group is evident in everything she does. She is humble and thoughtful, and plays a critical role in the success of our team. When Carrie is not in the office, she can be found on the golf course, Bridger Creek, working in her garden, out with friends, or spending time with her family.
