Our Staff
Pippin Bridgeman (she/her) - general manager
She swears she isn’t a hipster, just has “good taste”, but when push comes to shove, she only ever asks for people to put on Minecraft parodies and once stood in the hot sun for 8 hours to see Weezer at barricade. Pippin’s technically the Outreach Coordinator, but more importantly, a menace with an AUX cord. Don’t ask Pippin about YouTube Rewind, seriously... Or do because she really wants to talk about it. If you see her dressed up like a wizard for any reason, please tell her she looks really good and it’s totally normal to wear costumes out to dinner.
collin merrick (they/them) - music director
Colin is a musician, multi-media artist, and all around clown pursuing a BFA in mixed media sculpture. As a co-founder of Daisy Chain Presents, Colin has produced and promoted 50+ DIY events in Missoula over the last few years and continues to be active in the local music scene. As KBGA’s Music Director, Colin hopes to help produce events that grow and foster Missoula’s vibrant music community.
Oscar Hunt (he/him) - production engineer
Oscar is a Missoula based musician, sonic artist, and person, currently pursuing degrees in Sound Design and Theatre at the University of Montana. A prolific doer of things and knower of people, you can find him at most shows around town, in the crowd or behind the barricade. He’d love to tell you about the dance move he invented, “Pulling the Pork.” In his free time, he enjoys playing the piano, cooking meals with too much garlic, and writing about himself in the third person.
TOMMY Falcon (he/him) - Art director
Tommy is an Amskapii Pikunii, Missoula based graphic designer and film maker. Hailing from the windy hills of Browning, Montana, Tommy has ended up in many odd predicaments and places, he now finds himself writing his own bio for his position at the local college radio. In deep thought; “pancakes” he thinks to himself. Attempting to think of what to write in the bio, fluffy, sweet and buttery thoughts invade all parts of his brain. A predicament that has happened far too many times in his life. Moving on… Tommy enjoys shooting hoops, playing music with his friends, movies, and the color green. You can find him popping popcorn or in his room playing any From Software produced video game.
Miller Sebo (She/they) - Program Director
Originally from Seattle, WA, Miller is a Journalism student here at UM with a passion for thrifting, sweet treats, and figuring out how every song's lyrics relate to her life. As Program Director, she hopes to meet new people and bring KBGA closer together! Outside of KBGA, Miller spends her time performing music, reporting for the Montana Kaimin, or watching a mystery movie and crocheting. Stop by the office to say hey- preferably with a coffee ;)
Mikal Chaussee (she/they) - Outreach Coordinator
Mikal is a human from Missoula, Montana, the United States, on Earth, the Solar System, the Milky Way galaxy, but that title felt a little too wordy, so she settled for Outreach Coordinator. Creative, chronic overcommitter, and professional yapper, Mikal can usually be found bouncing between community events and at least three open tabs dedicated to “important projects”.
Raised on a mix of indie playlists, overly specific facts, and the confidence that comes from surviving Montana winters, she firmly believes every problem can be solved with a well-curated playlist and conversation. Between community outreach and wandering around Missoula pretending she’s in a coming-of-age film, she’s developed a reputation for talking to literally everyone, accidentally turning quick errands into hour-long side quests, and making “just one more thing” her personal catchphrase.
ALLISON - INTERN
Allison is the KBGA intern. In her free time, Allison likes to do stuff and participate in things. Her favorite artists are Car Seat Headrest, STRFKR, and the Beatles, and her favorite way to listen to them is through her ears.
