Meet Amy
I have been married 31 years and live 10 miles west of Lake George. I am a 5th generation Coloradoan; my family arrived in Colorado in 1862 and as merchants settled near Leadville. I hold my Colorado roots dear; it is my duty to fight for Park County’s Mountain independence, for self-determination.
I am a graduate from the University of Colorado with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business. I put myself through college working and attending school full-time. I know how to prioritize and get things done. Throughout my 33-year career, I worked in International Business, as a vice president of a dietary supplement manufacturing facility and ended my career as a successful self-employed small business owner. I have since, walked-away from my career to serve Park County full time as Commissioner for District 1.
My service to Park County started before serving as commissioner. I served almost 4 years as the volunteer Chair/Secretary of the county’s Advisory Board for the Environment, ABE. I Reviewed permit applications, land use cases and other state and federal issues that may impact Park County’s environment, wildlife, air, water, land and minerals . I believe in preserving private property rights and the environment which can be achieved with commonsense decision-making.
I am a member of Central Colorado Cattleman’s Association. Living on a Ranch, I have high regard for our ranching community and understand the challenges of ranching as a business. Ranching and agriculture are economically important to Park County; a priority of the County Master Plan.
Am a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and a (2018) founding member/secretary of the American Legion Riders, Post 172, Fairplay; a program of the American Legion. I am currently Senior Road Lieutenant. Our mission is to support veterans, to participate in parades and honor ceremonies.
