BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Louie Molen
President/Chief Executive Officer
Louie Molen was born in Great Falls, Montana as was hiis wife Patti Haney Molen. Together they have 6 children and 14 grandchildren, four of the children work along side him at Mountain View Physical Therapy. Louie has been involved in sports since he was very young. Louie chose a career in Physical Therapy and is in his 39th year as a Physical Therapist. As a major part of that career, he loves helping youth get back into sports after sustaining an injury. Louie was always a little too short and small, but being quick and a little ornery helped him to pay his way thru college playing football and wrestling. He has always been interested and involved in helping others continue to be able to participate in sports and is the major contributor to why the Mountain View Sports Complex fits into his strong belief system. He loves it when youth, that maybe couldn’t normally play beyond high school, get a second chance, because they were willing to work hard and have facilities and programs to help them, such as Results and Pneufast Overspeed and Agility. "Our Youth deserve to have greater opportunities to excel, and hone their skills and physical capabilities, in a year round indoor facility." Louie and his family whole heartedly support the development of Mountain View Sports Complex. They understand how beneficial MVSC will be for Great Falls, the surrounding communities and all the way into Canada.
