Born and raised in Bozeman, Dave Richards is a friendly local, attending Monforton School, Bozeman High, and Montana State University. His journey to becoming a remodeling contractor wasn’t exactly traditional. It began in high school, selling RVs at Big Sky RV (now Bish's RV), where he built relationships with clients from all across Montana. The RV business was booming, but it came with a demanding schedule of nights and weekends. Looking for a more balanced lifestyle, Dave transitioned into construction under the guidance of a key mentor. With a naturally wide skill set and a knack for problem-solving, he quickly found his footing. As one of his best friends puts it, “What can’t Dave do? Even in high school, he had the skill set of a retired shop teacher!” Over time, Dave found his niche in remodeling—where unexpected challenges are part of the job and no two projects are the same. He thrives in this dynamic environment, combining high-quality craftsmanship with smart, solution-driven thinking. For Dave, it’s never just about getting the job done—it’s about getting it done right. He doesn't rest easy unless he knows he’s delivered the absolute best for his clients. These days, Dave is still on the hunt for that elusive 8-to-5 schedule, but weekends are well spent camping, hunting, skiing, and enjoying time with his family. He also volunteers with the Bridger Ski Foundation Freestyle Team, sharing his love for the mountains and helping young athletes develop their skills. At Cozy Creek Custom, Dave brings a personal touch, a perfectionist’s eye, and a commitment to doing things the right way—every time.
Caleb Moyer - Right Hand
Caleb hails from Pennsylvania, and a Painting Contractor family. He recently obtained a degree in Business Management at Montana State University with the hopes of someday starting his own construction company. Caleb’s work ethic, trustworthiness, and punctuality have been an invaluable addition to Cozy Creek Custom! In his free time, Caleb can be found snowboarding and mountain biking around Bozeman. We have been fortunate to have Caleb with us since May of 2022 while promising him that any painting on the jobs will be minimal!
Jody Richards - Owner
Hi, I’m Jody Richards—Dave’s wife, business partner, President, and, occasionally, his office assistant. With over 20 years of experience in real estate, particularly in new construction, I know my way around a job site. In 2010, I shifted from the nights-and-weekends hustle of real estate to launch Cozy Creek Vacation Homes, a vacation rental management company in Bozeman. After successfully building and selling that business in 2017, I stepped into a more hands-on role with our construction company—initially “helping” Dave, but eventually taking on key responsibilities. Today, I manage our marketing efforts, keep Dave’s calendar in check (no small task), and handle all the fun stuff—insurance, contracts, taxes, and licensing. As for free time? We’re deep in the chauffeuring phase of parenting. Life is busy, but we make the most of it! In the winter, we hit the slopes—either locally or at small ski areas across Montana. In the summer, we squeeze in as much outdoor adventure as possible: camping, hiking, rafting, fishing, and boating are all on the agenda.
