Joe Swiatek has deep roots in Big Sky, with his family’s connection dating back to the 1980s. He and his wife began visiting regularly in 1992 and built their home in Aspen Groves in 2005.
Joe brings extensive leadership experience from his 20-year FBI career, including 13 years in leadership positions. He holds a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering from Villanova University and an MBA from the University of Denver.

His emergency services career began as a professional ski patroller at Keystone Resort and expanded to include fire, EMS, law enforcement and search and rescue. He also served as Executive Director of a nonprofit medical response organization, overseeing a million-dollar budget and emergency operations.

Since retiring from the FBI in 2020, Joe has remained actively involved in the Big Sky community through Big Sky Search and Rescue, Big Sky Ski Patrol and the Chamber’s Infrastructure and Advocacy Subcommittee.

Now a grandfather who splits his time between Big Sky and his family farm in Virginia, Joe is committed to preserving Big Sky’s unique character while thoughtfully managing its continued growth.
