Meet Our Leadership

---

I have traveled all over the world and lived in many locations, but I am very proud to be able to call Denver my home. There is something quite special about the small town atmosphere, that allows people to actually get to know one another and the special relationships that are able to be developed. I have had the opportunity to work on behalf of the community, and see first hand the broad generosity of the those living here. In a time where the world has become more complicated and often divided, I find great comfort in the unity around common values and mutual respect that exists in a small community. I thank all of you for making East Lincoln a better place to live, and look forward to working with as many of you as I can.
