Pete MacFadyen
Founder
“I believe in BYEP.... in short, because I started it. Back in 2001 all the way until today I've always believed that all people need an intentional relationship with the natural world — which starts by getting outside — and a safe place to engage in conversation about life. BYEP does both of these things and they do it well.”
Pete has lived in Bozeman for 25 years now. The majority of that time (18 years) was spent building BYEP. Prior to that Pete practiced Mental Health Counseling at his own private practice focused specifically on adolescents. In 2019 he made a career shift and took on management responsibilities to help create The Rieschel Foundation.
Pete recently completed his 200hr Yoga Teacher Training, and looks forward to providing classes at BYEP's newly renovated headquarters. He is fortunate to spend a lot of his time with two of his favorite people, his wife and daughter.
