Tom Siebel – Montana Corporate Cowboy and Founder of The Montana Meth Project
In the middle of moving a herd of black angus cattle from one pasture to another, Tom Siebel dismounts his horse and starts picking up stray pieces of old trash — bailing wire, odd pieces of rusted metal, glass discolored by the years of exposure to the elements. “Hey, this could be a meth lab from 1929,” Siebel jokes in the gravelly voice. Coming from anyone else, the statement might earn a chuckle. But for Siebel, the man behind the Montana Meth Project, it carries a weighty message. He’s invested more than $10 million into ridding the state of what he calls “the devil’s drug.”
It’s midmorning on the Dearborn Ranch. The sun is starting to beat down hard and a trickle of sweat collects on the back of Siebel’s baggy blue shirt. The cattle move slowly but willingly except for a few confused calves who bolt from the herd every once in a while only to be headed off by Siebel or one of the ranch hands, Todd Krenning, Shane Hoopes, and Pete Petersen. Pedro, a young chocolate Lab, tries his hand at being a cattle dog, with little luck.
