Ryan Bramlette
Ryan Bramlette is a University of Montana Western alumnus and former Bulldog football player. Born and raised in Dillon, Ryan grew up watching the Bulldogs and developed an early connection to the University and community that has remained central throughout his life. During his time at Western, he was part of multiple Frontier Conference championship teams and a national semifinalist run, an experience that helped shape his long-term commitment to UMW athletics and academics.
Professionally, Ryan is a Montana land broker with Fay Ranches, advising buyers and sellers on high-value ranch and recreational land transactions across the American West. Prior to land brokerage, Ryan served as Vice President / Managing Director of a commercial insurance team overseeing 30 offices across the Pacific Northwest at one of the nation’s largest privately held insurance firms. While that role built his leadership and business foundation, Ryan grew up watching his father, Tom, lead a successful ranch brokerage and knew he ultimately wanted to follow in those footsteps. He later retired from the insurance business to do just that.
As a University of Montana Western Foundation Board member, Ryan is passionate about supporting the continued growth and evolution of UMW, both academically and athletically, and helping ensure the Bulldog tradition remains strong for future generations. Ryan and his wife, Kiyomi (also a Montana Western alum and former Bulldog volleyball player), enjoy returning to Dillon with their son to watch Bulldog athletics and stay closely connected to the campus community.
