About SGCCI
The Sweet Grass Roots servant leaders:
Robert “Bob“ Faw
Born February 1951 in Bozeman Montana. Live in Big Timber. Graduated 8th grade from Dry Creek School, Graduated from Sweet Grass High School in 1969, and then attended Technical school in Billings (graduating from there with high honors).
Farmed & Ranched, worked Road Construction operating heavy equipment. Met my Sweetheart Judy in 1972 and married her in February 1973. We decided to quit Road Construction to stay in one place to farm & ranch. We thought it would be the best place to work together, and someday raise a family. After seven years we decided to have children. We have two Sons, and one Grandson.
Over the course of our 37 years of married life we have bought, built, and sold several businesses and properties. We sold part of the Farm in March 1985 to purchase the Chevrolet-Oldsmobile store. Judy & I have worked together at Bob Faw Chevrolet-Oldsmobile Inc until we sold out, and now we have Bob Faw Auto where I sell used vehicles and equipment. In the early 90’s I started a Real Estate office called VIP Realty, and after a couple of years sold it to another Broker. We have Faw Rental Properties which now includes Cottonwood Estates Trailer Park. Also we have purchased and built B & J Storage which has 3 locations. I’ve always worked hard all my life no matter what it might be.
In the last 35 years I’ve served on the Grey Cliff School Board, City/County Planning Board, and GM Dealer Council. Was a Sweet Grass Chamber Member, a M.A.D.A. (Montana Auto Dealer Association) Member, and DEAC (Dealers Election Action Committee) Member.
During our time in business we have helped many organizations and individuals financially in one way or another. FFA (which we are lifetime members), 4H, SG Fair, Boys Scouts, Girl Scouts, Science Olympiad, Special Olympics, DARE, Big Timber Vol. Fire Depart., SG Sheriff’s Depart., SGHS Booster, SGHS Band, BT Rodeo, 1000 Hands Playground, etc. The list goes on and on, because we helped just about everyone and everything that happened in Big Timber and Sweet Grass County.
I now hope to help take back our City, County, State and Country, so our kids, grandkids, and their kids will be able to have the freedom all of you and I have had all these years.

Geoff Goble
For 40 years I have owned, operated, bought, sold, and developed small businesses and commercial property. I have also served on the boards of profit and non profit organizations, acting as secretary and president. I have been married for 43 years and have two adult children.
My ancestors and I have enjoyed over 200 years of freedom and opportunity based on the principles of liberty and responsibility. My intention is to continue making those Constitutional rights, duties and traditions available to every citizen of the Republic.
Robyn Roberts
In 1999, I found my property in Montana. When I retired, I moved here from the San Francisco Bay Area. Coming to Big Timber felt like coming home, everyone was so helpful and gracious.
Before retiring, I was the Editor of an online site which provides financial information and education. Prior to working with the financial services site, I was the Founder of a commercial real estate company which serviced the Northern California market. Much of my work centered around development property for multi-family and high density single family properties although, we serviced all types of commercial real estate transactions. The first business I opened was was a gift and interior design store also in Northern California.
As a young adult, my time was spent raising my children and living a simple and active family life. My husband and I enjoy gardening, hiking and riding in the back country. We both have a great concern for our community and our environment. We would like to leave it better than we found it without changing its’ extraordinary character and invigorating liberty.
