Life Experience
Michelle looks forward to the winter for skiing. A regular at Sugarbush for the last 30 years, she combines Vermont skiing with trips out west to ski the powder and bowls. It’s a fabulous family sport!
Michelle loves the outdoors and sports. She is willing to try all sorts of adventures including diving (even with sharks), whitewater rafting, canyoneering, mountain biking, and hiking.
Michelle enjoys seeing the world, particularly the outdoor places. Much of business life has involved traveling globally. For pleasure, Michelle has been to the Serengeti on a spectacular Safari. She has been to Bryce, Zion, the Grand Tetons, the Alps, Belize, and Australia to name a few. One of her favorite places is Costa Rica, a spot she has returned to multiple times.
Michelle has shared her life adventures for the past 35 years with her husband Bud. Bud, a CFO, and Michelle have successfully managed the dual career lifestyle.
Michelle and Bud have raised two kids to adults. Danielle Stacy is a Dartmouth ’11 graduate, a Cornell Veterinary School graduate and is currently an Equine Sports Medicine Vet in Connecticut and Florida. An avid, competitive equestrian, Danielle has combined her strength in sciences with her expertise in horses. She has a specialty in Equine Sports Medicine. When not on call, Danielle can be found either traveling to a horse show to compete or at the stable. Randall Stacy, a complete dare devil, pursues all things extreme. An accomplished backcountry snowboarder with many extreme credits, Randall has traveled the world to compete in snowboarding events. He also graduated from Dartmouth, worked for the Center of Innovation and Design at Boise State and is now a full time Mountain and Rock Climbing Guide for the Sawtooth Mountain Guides. When not studying or snowboarding, you’ll find him rock climbing or hiking in New Hampshire.
What is life without the unconditional love of a dog? Michelle has two Australian Shepherds, Opi and Pippin. They are her running, horseback riding, mountain biking and hiking companions. Her morning ritual is to have her coffee on the couch with both dogs snuggled in. “Nothing starts the day better than having them next to me (sorry Bud)!”
Michelle rode and competed during her high school years, and then took a 30-year break from the sport. She restarted at the age of 50 and is back in the show ring. Michelle learns a tremendous amount about leadership by understanding the teamwork that goes on in the show ring and at home between her horse and herself. “It is amazing how important communication and shared leadership becomes to compete successfully.”
