Having moved to Missoula when she was 12 years old, Helen Houlihan attended St. Anthony’s Grade School, Sentinel High School and the University of Montana. She was active in sports – tennis, racquetball and golf – so it came as no surprise she pursued a career in the sports and wellness industry.

Eddie Ledermann started his café and espresso bar Civitella in the basement of the Missoula Public Library with simplicity in mind. He has created a Meat Club with monthly selections of great food and the very popular meat and greet meetings. He has been helping Living Art for several years as our finance genius.

David Sande has been with First Interstate Bank since 2004 when he started in the Operations Center in Billings, MT.  David moved to Missoula in 2005 where he worked as a Financial Services Representative at the Wal-Mart and Albertsons in-store branches.  He later transitioned into the Missoula collections office where he worked until he completed his MBA at the University of Montana in 2007.  At this point he moved to his current position as a Credit Analyst in the Commercial & Private Banking department at the downtown office.  The past two years David has participated as a team member raising funds for the American Heart Association.
 
David is proud to be a part of the First Interstate Bank family and enjoys working with his co-workers at all the Missoula branches for both personal and commercial clients' banking needs.  US Banker Magazine named First Interstate one of America's Top 10 banks in 2009 with $2 - $10 billion in assets.  David would like to invite everyone to visit the new First Interstate Bank building located at the corner of Front & Higgins in downtown Missoula.

Katie understands the connection between creativity and spirit, and believes that the process of making something is inherently valuable. A native Montanan, she has lived in Missoula since getting a B.A. in history
from the University of Montana in 1976. In 1978 she began working in stained glass, permanently derailing
the path to an advanced degree, but with her husband, Leonard Tinnell, built two businesses, Glass Concepts
and Mercurial Arts, into a career for both of them, and a part-time option for one of their two grown sons.
Though she still teaches stained glass and accepts an occasional commission, the primary focus is in kiln-fired
glass. She has served as President of both Young Audiences and The Artists’ Shop, and is excited to join a vibrant Living Art Board.
