It’s been an honor to serve the Woodland Park community as a City Councilmember and I would appreciate your vote on April 5th, to serve another four years. I will continue to work hard for our community and protect the things that make Woodland Park a special place to live and work. I believe by listening to community members much can be accomplished; I’ve witnessed many of the best ideas come fro
m the citizens who have an interest in helping make Woodland Park an amazing place to be. I value collaboration with citizens, businesses, non-profits, and city staff to find solutions to pressing issues, handling City business and being fiscally responsible with our budget and debt. I bring years of City experience after serving 17 years as the City’s Finance Director/Treasurer, and my most recent four years as a City Councilmember. Utilizing my bachelor’s degree in accounting and master’s degree in finance, I am proud to contribute ideas and solutions to the unique and exciting challenges facing our community. In my more than two decades of service to Woodland Park, I believe my experience and expertise uniquely qualify me to join my fellow Councilmembers in making the best choices for our community in a responsible manner. After 26 years of service in municipal government, I pride myself in my ability to discuss issues in a civilized and respectful manner and with my fellow Councilmembers, arrive at what is the greatest benefit for all our citizens and our community. I look forward to demonstrating this once again as a member of your City Council. Currently, I’m enjoying the challenges and successes in growing my real estate business, I’m proud to be a member of Keller Williams in beautiful Woodland Park. I’m an active member of the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce and secretary/treasurer of the Ute Pass Symphony Guild, as well as supporting many other nonprofit organizations and rescues in our area, I continuously seek ways to give back to this community that has given so much to me! I am a 6th generation native of Colorado where my fraternal great-grandfather homesteaded a cattle ranch on the Uncompahgre River between Montrose and Ridgway. I have one adult daughter, Taraleah, who works tirelessly as my assistant in my business, two dogs and one unique and unusually sweet kitty. I enjoy motorcycling and experiencing the outdoors throughout Colorado. Thank you for your trust by supporting me in this opportunity to once again serve you and Woodland Park as your City Councilmember.
