Former Churchill County High School Student Body President Garrett Kalt (’14) started a business to help organizations create social impact through strategic communications and resource development.

"I attribute my passion for service and community to my small-town upbringing," said Kalt. "The life lessons I learned in Fallon helped shape this business."

According to their website, People First Communications provides an array of services including campaign management, grant writing, project management, website design, and social media content creation.

Kalt started the business with his wife, Amethyst Freibott. Collectively, they have managed over 20 campaigns and have raised over $1 million for nonprofits. They have more than ten years of professional communication and project management experience.

"At the moment, our business is the two of us and most of our work is done remotely," said Kalt. "As a new business, we rely heavily on referrals and really appreciate people keeping us in mind for their organization’s communication, project management, and fundraising needs."

People First Communications is currently serving the City of Good and Kessler Keener Foundation. Kalt said they are accepting new clients and encouraging potential partners to view their website. 

After graduating high school, Kalt attended Washington State University where he met Freibott. He went on to earn his master’s degree at the London School of Economics and work for the Nevada Governor’s Office, and two different nonprofits in Boise, Idaho.

Garrett Kalt was born and raised in Fallon. His parents, Alan and Kieran Kalt, and grandmother Starlene Hanifan currently reside in Fallon. His siblings Thaaron and Stacy Kalt live in Reno.
