My great-grandparents homesteaded near the Flat Tops, raising sheep and building a legacy of hard work that still echoes in my family today. I grew up feeding livestock, swathing hay, and learning resilience from the land and the people who shaped it.

​

That grit drove me to a career of service—first as a corporate officer, then as the owner of Express Employment Professionals, where we’ve helped thousand of job seekers find work with hundreds of local businesses.

I’ve served on various boards and councils including the Colorado Workforce Development Council and Community Hospital Board, tackling real challenges with real solutions. Now, I’m here to fight for you—protecting our agricultural heritage, enhancing rural infrastructure, and creating opportunities for families and businesses that empower every family to thrive.

Together, let’s build a future where Western Colorado stands tall.
