A devoted community activist and volunteer, I am the current Chairman of the Board for The Front Range Center for Assault Prevention and have served on that board since 2005, advocating for the empowerment of children and their communities against sexual assault, bullying, and stranger abduction.

​

After being impacted by oil and gas development near our home, I lobbied at the state level for the passage of SB 19-181, giving local governments control over oil and gas production in their own communities. When it was passed and signed into law,  I joined neighbors, residents, town staff, and elected officials as we redrafted the town of Erie's oil and gas regulations, using SB 181's full power to prioritize and protect public health and safety and the environment. I have remained involved at the state level as the COGCC undertakes it's own rulemakings. I joined the Board of Directors for The League of Oil and Gas Impacted Coloradans in 2020 and continue to advocate for communities impacted by oil and gas development.
