Meet the one, the only, Tryg Tollefsen from the Hills-Beaver Creek community!

Tryg joins a long line of Hills-Beaver Creek alumni who have benefited from the valuable experiences and opportunities provided through the SWMN CEO Program.

Throughout this year, Tryg and his CEO peers will connect with business owners, entrepreneurs, and community leaders who will share their knowledge, experiences, and resources. These meaningful connections will help students gain real-world insights, develop valuable skills, and build a strong foundation for their future success.

We’re excited to follow Tryg’s journey and see all that he will learn and accomplish through the SWMN CEO experience!
