About

Grounded in real experience.

The best consulting comes from people who have actually done the work.

15+
Years of Leadership Experience

Built from the field up.

Tunnell Vision Consulting was built on the premise that the best consulting comes from people who have actually done the work. With a career spanning rural education leadership, nonprofit executive roles, large-scale event operations, and program development, we do not theorize — we advise from the field.

Based in Custer, Montana, we understand the unique challenges facing rural organizations, small districts, and community-driven institutions. We bring big-picture strategy and ground-level practicality to every engagement — without the corporate jargon.

  • Honest, plain-language counsel — no spin
  • Deep roots in education and community leadership
  • Systems thinkers with on-the-ground experience
  • Committed to integrity and institutional trust
  • Montana-based, nationally applicable

Experience that spans more than most.

We have worked in environments that most consultants have only read about. That breadth is not a footnote — it is the whole point. When you bring us a problem, there is a real chance we have lived a version of it.

Teaching

Classroom instruction, curriculum design, and student-centered programming across physical education, health, and driver education. We know how learning actually happens — and how institutions can support or undermine it.

Policy & Handbook Creation

Drafting, revising, and implementing institutional policies and employee or student handbooks that are clear, legally grounded, and actually followed. We write documents that work in practice, not just on paper.

Management & Leadership Training

Developing and delivering management training programs for supervisors, coordinators, and executive staff. From first-time managers in small nonprofits to multi-district athletic administrators, we meet leaders where they are.

Large-Scale Event Planning

Planning and executing events at every scale — from school tournaments and community fundraisers to major motorsports events drawing tens of thousands of attendees. Logistics, staffing, vendor management, and real-time problem solving under pressure.

Fundraising Creation & Execution

Building fundraising campaigns and donor development programs from scratch — strategy, messaging, cultivation, and follow-through. We have raised money for libraries, habitat programs, athletic departments, and community organizations across Montana.

Lawn Care & Grounds Management

Hands-on experience managing properties and grounds operations — scheduling, equipment, crew coordination, and client relationships. It taught us more about running a lean service business than most MBA programs ever could.

Distillation Operations

Experience in both small-batch craft and large-scale distillation operations — process management, compliance, quality control, and production planning. Precision work that demands discipline, documentation, and an eye for process improvement at every scale.
