Cyrus was born in Hamilton but moved to eastern South Dakota, where he grew up, on his second birthday. His family road tripped to Missoula yearly to visit family and he developed a love for Montana early on. This led to his decision to head to Missoula to attend the University of Montana, where he has remained ever since.

Cyrus is passionate about working with and helping our neighbors throughout Montana. He is the happiest and the most fulfilled when he gets to work directly with people to make a positive impact in Montana communities and in the lives of our neighbors! Cyrus previously managed the kitchen and food pantry at the Poverello Center and is incredibly excited to continue to be contributing to ending hunger in Montana!
