Ryan Troxel
Head Golf Professional

I grew up in Northern Colorado, in the towns of Loveland and Eaton.  I ended up playing basketball in college and finished my career playing at Montana Tech in Butte, MT.  A handful of years after graduation, I chose to pursue a career in golf and have never looked back.  I spent a number of years at a few clubs and courses in Montana before making my way to Riverside. I really enjoy the area, the members, and the culture of the club.  I strive to meet the needs of the membership and provide them with the programming, opportunities and experiences that make them feel valued here. 

My wife, Alison, spent her childhood in Butte and has a teaching degree from Montana Western and a Master's from MSU - Billings.  We have 3 children of a wide range of ages that keep us busy; Lili, Lexi, and Tucker.  We enjoy spending time as a family and playing sports.  I love the outdoors and try to find time to fish, camp and recreate in the mountains.  We are thrilled to be a part of the Bozeman community!
