PFL Tech Inc. is a marketing technology company that provides sales enablement and marketing automation solutions, as well asprinting, mailing, and fulfillment services. They also provide some great Montana Jobs.

A Missoula entrepreneur is under contract to purchase the historic Holland Lake Lodge in the Swan Valley north of Seeley Lake and plans to extend its season, install eco-yurts and perhaps find partners for music festivals.

“It was an amazing opportunity,” said new owner Michael Gardner. “It’s a very healthy business and it’s in the most beautiful place in the whole world.”

Gardner grew up in Scobey and used to split his time between there and California until he came to Missoula in 2005 to visit his sister, who was in law school, and wound up crashing on her couch.

“I ran operations for the Montana Food Bank Network and then met (local video and internet entrepreneur) Hank Green,” he said.
