And a little personal history:

I’m a fifth generation Leadvillite. I attended the same schools as my grandparents, and graduated from Lake County High School. I was reluctant to leave Leadville, but the closing of the Climax Molybdenum Mine had a devastating effect on the town and I was part of the exodus to find work.

I first moved to Summit County in 1983 and enjoyed being Caretaker at the Keystone Ranch until 1985. I met Amy while I was in college in Denver. She got the opportunity to coach rowing for her alma mater, Brown University and headed east. We married in 1988 and lived in Boston for fours years while Amy continued coaching for Northeastern University. When we decided to raise a family, we returned to Colorado in 1992. We have two daughters:  Helen and Diane. Amy, a Littleton native, is a Closer at Land Title in Dillon.
