David Fetveit

David’s unique perspective of living in the Flathead Valley is fueled by his knowledge of the area, his deep family roots, a first class education, and a lasting affection for the land. His background reveals a logical and analytical approach to business and investing combined with a love for his family and the great Montana outdoors. David will easily talk about the 8-pound Northern Pike he caught on his 5th birthday. He recalls eating smoked salmon all winter…the salmon he caught as a young boy in Flathead Lake with his father and grandfather. In fact, David recently spent one summer restoring that same 1964 Lee Craft boat that was built and delivered on Flathead Lake. Now he enjoys creating similar memories with his own sons.
