| Info | I grew up here. I was born in the Boulder Hospital we’ve just demolished. Julie Carpenter delivered me..!
I founded a 22-year-old successful local company with millions of int’l readers + up to 37 staff thanks to the advice & support of this special community. I’m comfortable running and growing a business, managing a team, and balancing risk with stability, values and mission with practicality and opportunity.
I’ve served on the board of New Era Colorado (for many years), the Boulder Co-op, Nude Foods Market, & the New Local among others. My parents were Buddhist students, my mom a teacher at Naropa & other schools & my dad a journalist. Raised solo by my mom, we lost my childhood home because even then we couldn’t afford the balloon payment. Things are much worse now, affordability-wise.
I’m a daily cyclist (haven’t owned a car for 15 years), & bought a home with $500 in my account (& managed—barely—to keep it out of foreclosure. The bank still owns most of it).
I’m a yogi (stiff), meditator (steady), author (eco/local-printing, best-selling), climber (mediocre), environmentalist (avid), & my rescue pup Winfield would love to meet you (if you have treats).
I love Boulder, & I’m frustrated & saddened by the direction its taken over the past 15 years. I’m running not because this is an easy job (it’s not) or pays well (it should pay a living wage so folks who aren’t rich/retired/or workaholics running on fumes can run) but because, simply,
I care.
While Boulder is still in many ways amazing, we can and must take urgent action to secure a happy, safe, healthy future for all, including our children’s generation. So while we have serious challenges, I am fundamentally excited & optimistic to return more listening, caring, & practical, eco, forward innovation to our dear community.
