About Us

Blaine Stimac, PT

Chief Executive Officer

Blaine grew up in Great Falls, Montana, and earned his Master of Physical Therapy from the University of Montana. With an entrepreneurial spirt and desire to make a big impact, he made a bold move launching his own private practice immediately following graduation. He was on a mission to make a difference in people’s lives through physical therapy; however, he quickly encountered the common challenges facing private practice owners.

Realizing an outstanding clinical and provider reputation would not alone create a great practice, he committed to learning how to run a business. Soon after, Blaine acquired and merged his existing practice with another large private practice in Kalispell, Montana. The company’s performance quickly and drastically improved, quadrupling in growth. This inspired him to help other private practice owners overcome the barriers they face and build successful businesses, and became the impetus, vision and core of HRS. Blaine has also been active in the American Physical Therapy Association on a statewide and national level developing a passion for private practice advocacy and entrepreneurship.

Outside of work, you’ll find Blaine with his wife, Britne, and their three boys enjoying the mountain lifestyle. Often skiing, navigating the abundance of lakes and rivers in the valley, or hiking the mountains, they take full advantage of the Montana’s wide-open spaces. Blaine stays active coaching his three boys in lacrosse and is a dedicated fitness and health enthusiast – particularly enjoying CrossFit.

Chief Operations Officer

Growing up in the mountains of Virginia, Cain has always been a man with big dreams and the motivation to make them a reality. He is an unapologetic sports fan and admits there is no televised sporting event that he is unwilling to watch.

He and wife, Lydia, also a physical therapist, share a passion for the profession which, was the impetus for their relocation to Montana and HRS. Following the completion of his DPT at Shenandoah University, Cain completed his COMT and CDNT through IAMT. Cain’s commitment to progressing the physical therapy profession through clinical quality drives his operational strategy.

In his other life as a dad of three (two daughters, one of which boasts a twin brother), Cain has learned to live life to its fullest with next to no sleep. A huge proponent of time management, Cain will be the first one to tell you he has not yet mastered the change to Mountain Time and finds he often misses the first hour on game day. It is his personal challenge to correct this and immerse himself fully in everything Montana has to offer.

Mark Challans

Communication Systems Specialist

A man on a journey never afraid to see where a new path may lead. Mark grew up in Winifred, Montana, and longed to experience life outside of the small, rural town. After high school graduation, he chose to pursue a career in the United States Army and proudly served our country for 21 years.

When Mark retired from the Army, he was faced with “what’s next?” His military career came to a close and the uncertainty of what was ahead seemed overwhelming, but the one constant that remained was the location of his next chapter – the Big Sky State. When Mark and his wife, Teresa (also one of our HRS game changers!) had the opportunity to return to Montana life, the answer was simple.

Albeit a wizard at setting up communication systems for our partners, Mark leaves technology behind in his spare time opting to take full advantage of his proximity to the great outdoors. You’ll likely find him on the water – boating or fishing, honing his woodworking skills, or jumping into an improvement project on his property.
