Meet The Redside Foundation Montana Chapter

  • Tess McEnroe - President

    Tess first got involved with the Redside Foundation in 2016 while guiding in Idaho and was able to have the gift of mental health counseling after her father passed away in 2020. She understands how guiding, grief, and other seasonal depressions as well as the disconnects to community can have a profound impact on guides. Tess hopes to empower and give back to the guiding community that has enriched her life beyond measure. She is now the President of the recently formed Redside Foundation - Montana chapter and is honored to be a part of the organization.

  • Greg Cairns- Vice President

    Greg is a documentary filmmaker, commercial director, and photographer. Greg is an Idaho river guide, environmentalist, and space nerd. He lives outside Bozeman, Montana.

  • Katie Veteto - Treasurer

    Katie guides mainly in central Idaho and throughout Montana. She spends her winters in Bozeman teaching Wilderness Medicine. Kaite initially sought out RSF in search of support and community, both of which she found in abundance. Now, she is giving back to support the Montana guiding community. She knits great hats, writes poetry, and can be found bumping around on skis and playing with her pup, Tuck.
