February 18, 2010 - The Ranch at Rock Creek, Montana's premier new luxury guest ranch, is pleased to announce the appointment of Bill Griffon as general manager. Griffon's impressive experience in the hospitality industry and unabashed passion for Western living will ensure a successful grand opening for the Ranch in May.

Griffon arrives at The Ranch at Rock Creek from his previous tenure as general manager and chief operational officer of the Seven Falls Golf and River Club in Hendersonville, NC. Known as the only private golf and river club in the state, Griffon was responsible for maintaining the five-star service at the world's first Arnold Palmer Premier Club and Course, as well as managing the staff, budgets and construction plans. Prior to his work at Seven Falls, Griffon served four years as the vice president of operations at the prestigious Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana, where he continued to hone his skills for successfully managing upscale properties with high-end clientele. Despite holding various leadership positions throughout the Hyatt Corporation and The Lodge at Sea Island in Georgia and living in some of the prettiest parts of the country, the West continued to resonate for Griffon and he knew Montana was his home.

As general manager, Griffon will be responsible for shaping every operational aspect of the Ranch, including spearheading the additional hiring efforts, streamlining the activities programs, developing relationships with guests and managing the staff.

“I'm very much looking forward to sharing our scenery, staff, activities and amenities with guests,” said Griffon, “because I think they're really going to be amazed at what we have going on way out here in the mountains of Montana. The chance to offer remarkably upscale amenities in a smaller-scale setting was impossible to resist. It's a place built on passion, not numbers.”

With a knack for outdoor activities and an unwavering sense of leadership, Griffon will play an instrumental role in providing the ultimate luxury ranch experience for each guest.
