S A FREELANCE PRODUCER AND
CINEMATOGRAPHER, Jimmy
Michaels has traveled worldwide
working on documentaries for The
History Channel, Discovery, HGTV,
and MeatEater. Then he met Jackie
Wickens and Trecie Wheat Hughes
of Yellowstone Brokers on the set of
their HGTV show Mountain Mamas.
Now Jimmy is one of the many
folks "behind the scenes" who work
to deliver the legendary property
services that have made Yellow-
stone Brokers famous. When he's not
spending time with his wife Bethany
and their two beautiful daughters
Arabel (4) and Elyssa (2), he's like-
ly to be out flying a drone around a
Montana property, or searching for
the ideal angle to complete a listing.
He has a sought-after gift for fram-
ing the perfect image and delivering
outstanding results.
"Working with Yellowstone Bro-
kers allows me to slow my travels
down, be with my family, and appre-
ciate my life in Montana even more,"
he says with a smile. "More camping,
hiking, hunting, soaking, skiing,
floating. Best of all, more Montana
restaurants serving Montana food."
It's this appreciation for the stories
of locally sourced food that inspired
Jimmy to create and produce the
