Let us introduce ourselves:
Hi, I'm Greg Bain, pictured above with my wonderful wife, Clare LaMeres, and her horse Cherokee. I designed the ranch buildings, and my company built them. I'm a fourth generation Montana native, and a second generation builder. I've lived in the Flathead Valley all of my life. Having spent my childhood summers playing and working on my uncle's ranch which is adjacent to ours, it has been my lifelong dream to own and enjoy a ranch like the Dayton Creek Family Ranch. My dream has come true, and I hope to share that dream with you through this website. I have five children, three boys and two girls ages 25 to 35, and seven grandaughters ages 1 month to 7 years of age, and one 13 year old grandson, plus one more grandchild on the way in December. You can learn more about my Design/Build company by going to www.gregbain.com.
Hello, I'm Clare LaMeres, and I am so happy to be sharing this beautiful ranch with you. I have lived in Montana for a total of 22 years on and off since I was 2 years of age. In my mid-teens our family moved to Los Angeles, California where I lived for 37 years before returning in 1999 to what I consider to be my "home" state, Montana! I taught high school English in Huntington Beach, California, and then in 1986, I "hit the road" and traveled throughout the United States and Canada giving motivational speeches to teachers and parents on the ideas in my book, The Winner's Circle: Yes I Can! Self Esteem Lessons for the Secondary Classroom. I enjoy sharing ranch experiences with my "one of a kind" wonderful husband, with family and friends, and now with all of you!
