Letter: Why I’m running for Avon Town Council
Avon has been my home since 1995. In my 29 years here, I have watched the town grow from “the town at the entrance to Beaver Creek” to a destination of its own.
In my 29 years here, we have probably crossed paths. I have been the owner-operator of Direct First Aid. I provide first aid and safety supplies for businesses. I owned Rocky Mountain Carriage Co. giving rides for tourists and wedding parties for nine years with the giant draft horses and St. Bernard dogs mascots. I was the founding president of Radio Free Minturn. I have been and am still heavily invested and interested in our quality of life and the success of our residents.
In my second term now as a member of the Avon Planning and Zoning Committee and chairman of the Avon Health and Recreation Committee, I feel as if I am ready to take on the position of Town Council member and use my experiences to help guide us into the future.
I would like to see our town become a leading recreational destination for outdoor sporting events as well as a draw for music and theater in the park.
Another goal is to help create a better framework that connects government and private enterprises to solve the housing crisis that is affecting most mountain communities.
