Integrate the operation
Ranching, restoration, and admin functions must run as one accountable enterprise.
LivWell Property Management proposes a three-year partnership across PFC's 20,000+ deeded acres and 49,000 acres of leases — integrating ranch operations, restoration, and people into one disciplined, accountable operation.
PFC Resources is doing some of the most important conservation work in the American West — restoring ecosystem services on working lands while honoring Tribal, agricultural, and community partners across the Basin.
That mission deserves a management partner whose culture is built around stewardship, communication, and follow-through. These are the values LivWell lives by. We propose to extend that operating discipline — and a dedicated, on-the-ground team — to PFC's portfolio.
Ranching, restoration, and admin functions must run as one accountable enterprise.

Zero build-out for PFC
No new entity to staff, no accounting or back-office to stand up. PFC plugs into LivWell's existing firm — experienced team, vendor relationships, and insurance.
Nic is the co-founder of LivWell Property Management and has extensive experience in asset management, property acquisition and portfolio advisement.
Born and raised in Central Oregon, Nic has spent a lifetime admiring and working in the industries the Klamath Basin runs on. He started professionally guiding hunting and fishing trips at 15, and built deep operational fluency in farm and ranch development through his years working on the Antone Ranch — a 40,000-acre property in Eastern Oregon. An entrepreneur from the start, he started and co-owned his first business at 18 before founding LivWell.
Today Nic leads LivWell Property Management with a people-first approach — combining strong problem-solving instincts with more than a dozen years of real estate experience to create better outcomes for owners, residents, and partners. On this engagement, he makes sure LivWell's full team shows up behind the GM every day.

Since 1997, Shawn has been a leader in Oregon's ranching and recreation industries. He built a premier hunting and fishing guide service, leasing over 150,000 acres of private land statewide. He then managed one of Oregon's largest cattle operations — a 100,000+ acre ranch with 3,000 head of cattle — where he created the state's largest water conservation project at the time.
In 2014, he founded Legacy Ranches to acquire, enhance, and reposition high-value ranch properties with a focus on recreation and conservation. Over nearly three decades, he has built deep working relationships across agencies, Tribes, neighbors, and the conservation community throughout the West.
Founder & Principal of Legacy Ranches. Available to PFC as Senior Advisor — a sounding board to ownership and the GM on strategy, partnerships, and longterm goals. KPIs and deliverables land with the GM and LivWell; Shawn is the seasoned voice in the room.
John Nason is a seasoned operator and leader with more than 20 years of experience across ranch management, agriculture, construction, and business leadership. His background combines hands-on operational experience with the ability to lead people, oversee complex assets, and manage relationships across a wide range of environments.
John began his career managing a large working ranch in Oregon, where he lived on-site and was responsible for day-to-day operations including cattle, hay production, irrigation systems, equipment maintenance, and overall property management. Over six years, his role grew to include broader oversight of the property — managing the land, equipment, and the day-to-day responsibilities that kept everything running smoothly.
He went on to spend over a decade with Hooker Creek Equipment & Supply, managing a multi-million-dollar book of business while working closely with contractors, landowners, and agricultural operators throughout the state. There he developed a strong working knowledge of heavy equipment, infrastructure, and land development, along with a broad network of trusted relationships across Oregon.
John also co-founded and operated a multi-location agricultural and retail business, where he was responsible for day-to-day operations and growth. Today, John serves in a senior leadership role at Nosler, where he leads strategic partnerships and supports initiatives tied to brand, operations, and customer experience — working closely across all levels of the organization, from production teams to executive leadership and ownership.
What sets John apart is his ability to operate comfortably at both the ground level and the leadership level. He understands the day-to-day realities of running a property, respects the people doing the work, and focuses on identifying and solving problems early, before they become larger issues.

Brent co-created and led the Whole Watershed Restoration Initiative and has developed innovative conservation and restoration financing approaches supporting salmon recovery, climate-smart forestry, and ecosystem services.
She previously served as Vice President of Forests & Ecosystem Services at Ecotrust and most recently led HP Inc.'s global forest investment portfolio and forest conservation strategy.

Direct property expenses (labor for ranch staff, equipment, fuel, insurance, contractors, restoration project costs) are PFC's and billed at cost with prior approval — never marked up.
All pass-throughs are pre-approved by PFC, billed at cost with no markup, and reconciled in the monthly report. LivWell does not earn a margin on any direct property expense.
We are a Central Oregon firm. We know the region, the agencies, the contractors, and the people.
Property management is a craft of systems, communication, and follow-through. That's what we do every day.
We manage land in a way that makes ecosystems and communities better. PFC's mission and ours are the same shape.
