Board of Directors

ROB KILIAN, Chair

Rob has enjoyed working in banking for the past 30 years; 14 years with Community First Bank/Bank of the West and 15 years with First Interstate Bank and most recently now at Banner Capital as the Cheyenne Market President for the past 8 months. When he’s not hard at work, Rob can be found spending quality time with his family camping, fishing, and boating during the summer months and hibernating during the long winter. Rob is an active community member and is involved with Kiwanis Club of Cheyenne, the South East Wyoming Builders Association, Meals on Wheels, and is the chair of the Cheyenne Frontier Days Chuckwagon pancake Breakfast.

Mat Brost, Vice Chair

Mat has spent the majority of his life in eastern Wyoming and western Nebraska. He moved to Cheyenne in 2022 when he joined Dr. Elsey’s Precious Cat Products as their Head of Marketing and Pet Food Formulation/Production. Prior to this, Mat spent over 10 years in Sidney, NE at Cabela’s Corporate Headquarters. Mat, his wife, Jodie, and two kids, Kourtney and Cael, love fostering dogs and currently have two rescue dogs of their own, Hennah and Lucky. When a spot on BDAR’s board become available, it was an obvious opportunity to support the community, foster parents and pets looking for their forever home that Mat couldn’t pass up. He looks forward to bringing his experience and dedication to pets to help continue BDAR’s legacy.
