The library, I believe, has been and continues to be, an integral part, and often the nucleus, of any vibrant community, especially in smaller towns. I have been amazed to see how the GC library system continually provides ever expanding offerings and engages an expansive variety of audiences in the community. As such, I am excited to actively support its continued development by joining the board of GCLD .
My wife and I built our home in Grand Lake in 2017-2018, and enjoy the lifestyle and the community .
I believe in giving back by being an active and engaged member of the community. I am involved with the following organizations :
- Grand Lake Creative District - Board President
- Grand Arts Council - Board President
- Rocky Mountain Folk School - Board President
- Grand Lake Area Chamber of Commerce - Board Vice President
- Rotary Club of Grand Lake - Treasurer
- Grand Lake Area Historic Society - Board member
Volunteering provides great continued learning as well as community engagement , two of my passions. The GCLD is certainly right in line with both of them.
