Vestry

Brad Flynt

Brad and his wife, Adair, have been fortunate to call Jackson and SJEC home since they moved to Wyoming in 2017. Brad is originally from middle Georgia, where he grew up in the Episcopal Churches of St. George’s in Griffin, Georgia and Christ Church in Macon, Georgia. Prior to moving to Jackson, the Flynts lived in Atlanta, but they are fairly certain their two children, Jack and Clayton, don’t remember any of it. Brad’s day job is practicing transactional law as a partner at Holland & Hart in Jackson, Wyoming. He is also the author and co-creator of the children’s book, The Little Shredder’s Guide to Jackson Hole and co-founder of the Jackson Hole Georgia Bulldog Club (Go Dawgs!).

Carol Owens

Carol and her husband, Ed moved to Jackson in 1977 from Wurzburg, Germany, where they were part of the dental corps. They have three children, a son, Shannon, who now owns Ed’s orthodontic practice, Summer, who owns the general dental practice, and Sunny, who has a general practice in Steamboat Springs. They have four wonderful grandchildren. Carol served on the Search Committee for Frank Johnson and Ken Asel, and Ed served on the vestry during the construction of the “big” church. She has taught Sunday school and served on the Altar Guild. Carol loves skiing, boating, hiking and traveling. She and Ed recently celebrated their 50th anniversary. St. John’s has been their church home for nearly 43 years.

Ruth Huyler Glass

Ruth Huyler Glass spent summers growing up on the Rocking H Ranch near Teton Village with her parents, Margaret and Jack Huyler, and her brothers. They attended The Chapel of Transfiguration every Sunday, where the kids’ duties were to collect and store hymnals and (on a lucky day), ring the bell. Once she and Wayne Glass married in 1968, visits to the ranch were limited, with their two now well-grown daughters, Hillary and Allison. Since retirement in 2018, they split their time between Jackson and Incline Village, NV. Ruth spent her professional career as a teacher, administrator, Head of School and remains on a few school boards. She's passionate about education, the “care and feeding” of children, teacher training, affordable workforce housing, and DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion). Since returning to St. John’s, she volunteers in a variety of ministries, including the Thursday Women’s Lunch Group.

John Goettler

John and his wife Valerie moved their family to Jackson ten years ago and have been members of St. John's since their arrival. John was the chair of the Endowment Committee for six years and continues to serve as a member. John was honored and humbled when Jimmy asked him to serve as a member of the Legacy of Love Campaign Steering Committee, and he is the chair of the Advance Gifts Committee. He has worked professionally as a fundraising consultant and a nonprofit foundation executive for the last 36 years. He launched his own consulting firm, The Goettler Group, in June 2022. They specialize in advising nonprofit organizations on securing financial resources to advance their mission and create lasting impact.

Cora Ligori

Cora moved to Jackson in 2007 following her marriage to Jim Ligori, a Jackson native, who she met at a summer camp in the North Carolina mountains. Jim had been attending St. John’s since he joined the Youth Group in middle school making St. John’s the obvious choice for a church home. Having a heart for teenagers, Cora served the St. John’s Youth Group for 5 years under Trent Moore, being the chaperon for many youth ski and summer trips. Cora has served as the Chair of the Evangelism Committee since 2015. Jim and Cora are both camp directors for Teton Valley Ranch Camp and spend their summers in Dubois, WY. They have three children, Elsie, George and Jamie, who feel the church is their home-away-from-home. They can often be seen running through the halls of the church (sorry about that) and eating anything they can find in Hansen Hall.

Trey Overdyke

Trey has lived in Wyoming off and on since 2001 and full-time in Jackson since 2010. Trey and his wife Tricia were married at The Chapel of the Transfiguration in 2012 and both their children were baptized at St. John’s. Trey and his family are active supporters of all that SJEC has to offer as well as growing new opportunities to serve. (We typically sit in the back right of the church and apologies for all the noise.) Trey and his family feel very blessed to call this church and town home. Trey is a partner at Holland & Hart and specializes in operational risk-management and emergency response for companies across the country. Prior to law school, Trey was a field instructor with the National Outdoor Leadership School.

Hadyn Peery

Hadyn is a financial advisor and partner at SINGLETON PEERY Financial. Born and raised in Lynchburg, Virginia, he was drawn to the Tetons after graduating from N.C. State University in search of adventure. An active member in the community, he sits on the boards of Teton Raptor Center, Mental Health and Recovery Services of Jackson Hole and the Legacy of Love steering committee for St. John’s. St. John’s has been an important aspect of his life since reconnecting with the church in 2014. When not at work – or at church on Sundays – you will find Hadyn skiing in the winter and playing golf in the summer. Hadyn lives in Jackson with his wife Samantha and two children – Liv and Teddy.

Anne Rutherford

Jackson holds a special place in Anne's heart. She and her husband, Jim Ross, made Anne's dream come true eight years ago when they moved here from Connecticut, and they've never looked back. Anne's dad was born here in 1914, so her roots run deep. She is a retired Family Nurse Practitioner. Together Jim and Anne share six children and nine grandchildren who enrich their lives. They take advantage of this beautiful spot as often as possible, hiking, fishing, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing or just being still and soaking in the glory of Wyoming. St. John’s has been a spiritual home and anchor for Anne, and she feels honored to be nominated to participate in the life of this parish by serving on the vestry.

M.E. Weber

M.E.’s story of coming to Jackson is a familiar one. She and her husband, Bob came for the skiing twenty years ago and stayed for the summer. They bought a vacation home in 2017 and moved here full time 2 years later from Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. They have two daughters. Margot, is married to Jesse Crane, with 18-month old son, Jasper. Meredith was the first of the family to move to Jackson in 2014. They feel so lucky and blessed to all be here together. M.E.’s education includes a BA from Boston College in 1974 and an MBA from Temple University and Fox School of Business in 1980. M.E. retired after 35 years with Dow/Rohm and Haas companies in 2016. She had an exciting career, including 4 overseas assignments, London, Paris, Shanghai and Saudi Arabia. While her background is finance, for the last 15 years of her career M.E. was an Information Technology Director, managing the maintenance and implementation of the systems supporting global business processes. The Weber family visited St. John’s Episcopal Church when they started spending more time in the valley and felt warmly welcomed and at home. She is looking forward to contributing to this fabulous community through a term on the vestry.
