Rooted in Montana

Built by people who know the whole operation.

RODEO BRAIN is built by Kelly Bonnell, Angie Brandon, and Jesse B. Lucero, with fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-generation Montana roots. Our families homesteaded in the Clyde Park area, and that connection to the land, the people, and the work still shapes how we show up.

Jesse moved here from Las Vegas, Nevada to enrich and contribute to Montana. His background includes banking, auto lending and fraud-prevention work, Wells Fargo Bank, U.S. Bank, mortgage sales leadership, public relations, marketing, advertising, title insurance, and real estate. Kelly brings 25 years as an insurance and real-estate broker serving commercial and consumer clients. Angie is a business owner and former healthcare-company owner with experience in media, cable television, and advertising. We focus on protecting our clients and their customers while keeping the operation clear.

We are here to serve Montana first, continue expanding across rodeo and events, and build something that lasts beyond a single season. The legacy is not just the software; it is the trust, records, relationships, and opportunities we leave for the next generation of rodeo leaders.
