John Fanzone

President

I was born in Michigan but grew up in Washington State from the age of 5 and have loved watching the Seahawks for as long as I can remember. I graduated from Bellevue College and during that time I met my wife who was born and raised in Red Lodge, MT and was out there for school. After our first child was born, we packed everything up and moved to Montana which was in 2009. My wife and I and now 2 kids and live in Billings, MT where I am currently a sales rep for wholesale distributor. I am an avid hunter and love the outdoors so Montana grew on me very quickly but I never lost my love and passion for the Hawks! I was introduced to the Seahawkers club a few years ago and love the openness and the welcoming they had to celebrate with fellow Seahawk fans even though we are not in Seattle. It’s that and their passion to make a difference in their local communities that made me want to be a part of it.

In my free time I volunteer at my local church, coach the many different sports my kids play and hang out with friends. My favorite time of year is the fall as Montana doesn’t get any prettier but it’s also football and hunting season.

I am super excited to be a part of this board and look forward to all the impacts we can have not only here in Montana but in each and every location we are planted.

GO HAWKS!!

Vice-President

I was Born and raised a farm boy watching the Seahawks in Eastern Washington State. A graduate of Washington State University who spent 25 years in Broadcast Television, where I had the pleasure to be on the field for the very last Seahawks game before the King Dome was imploded. I graduated in '99 and started a very storied adventure and career that began in Alaska and ended up in Billings Montana. Everywhere I've lived and visited I find Seahawks fans and the 12 Flag a-flying. These days my Gypsy sole has settled down some, I've left television for a quieter life of camping, hiking and enjoying the outdoors with my two dogs. I spend game days with fellow Sea Hawks fans rooting for our home team. Even though I've left television my involvement with technology continues. Currently I'm a Network Engineer for a rural ISP and involved with several technology groups around the Billings area.

I'm super excited to be part of this board and new chapter. This is going to be an awesome adventure and we are going to make a huge impact in our area! Go Hawks!!!

Chris Miller

Membership Coordinator

I was born and raised in western WA. I grew up rooting for the Seahawks since I was in diapers, watching the games with my dad. After high school, and then college at Washington State University, I moved to PA. I was fortunate to find a great friend and fellow Seahawk enthusiast to root with on Sundays. After moving to Billings and spending a couple seasons without a cheering crew on Sundays, I was fortunate to meet another great friend and fellow Hawk Fan at his Super Bowl party (THE Super Bowl for Hawks fans). We’ve caught games together since and ended up finding our way to the Sea Hawkers fan club.

I’ve been in Montana for the past 12+ years (it’s actually more than that, but it’s good number!), and live with my wife and daughters. It has been a treat to enjoy Seahawks gameday energy with my family and a group of 12’s each week.

Treasurer

Born in Western Washington and raised a 12 in Montana, I bleed blue and green! I enjoy giving back to my community and helping out where it is needed. I take #12sForGood seriously! I live in Billings with my husband and dogs. I enjoy rafting, camping, hiking and getting LOUD with my fellow Billings-area Seahawkers on Sundays (and sometimes Thursday or Monday nights or Fridays and Saturdays during the playoffs).

Football is Family 💙💚

GO HAWKS!
