Celebrating 5 Years — Ethan Brundeen
From youth conference participant to summer staff member to a key part of our Marketing & Communications team, Ethan Brundeen’s Mo-Ranch journey has come full circle.
After attending youth conferences and later working a summer job at Mo-Ranch, Ethan enjoyed it so much that he decided to stay. Five years later, he’s helping tell the stories of the people, programs, and moments that make Mo-Ranch special.
One of Ethan’s favorite parts of his work is creating the Mo Messenger, which has given him the opportunity to learn more about Mo-Ranch and the people who help it grow. “It’s an honor to tell their stories,” he shared.
From capturing the energy of the ICYC Culture Showcase to experiencing the once-in-a-lifetime eclipse, Ethan has had plenty of memorable moments along the way.
When he's not telling Mo-Ranch stories, Ethan enjoys planning and executing road trips, considers himself a night owl, and apparently knows that working in his office and at Mo-Ranch comes with an important prerequisite: “Don’t be allergic to cats.”
And when asked to describe Mo-Ranch in three words? “A Second Home.”
Thank you, Ethan, for five years of creativity, storytelling, and helping us share the Mo-Ranch story with others. We're glad you decided to stay!
