Responsible & Sustainable Growth for Heber
About Me
Growing up in Rifle, Colorado instilled in me the values and work ethic that come with rural mountain living. Raised on a small ranch meant getting up before the sun to feed cows before school and also the reward of long summer days that stretched beyond 9pm.
I’ve been fortunate to live and work all over the west, but Heber feels most like home. When my employer of 16 years presented the opportunity to run their recently acquired bike shop on Main St, I didn’t think twice about accepting. I’ve been in my 115 year old farm house for a short time but don’t plan to leave anytime soon. My work ethic, small town values, and small business experience make me a great choice to continue Heber along a path of responsible and sustainable growth.
Prioritize Affordable Housing
Ensuring we prioritize affordable housing will be key to the success of local businesses. The current council has worked to increase affordable single family and multi family housing. I look forward to continuing and expanding that effort.
My Priorities
Develop Heber Main Street
As a person who runs a business on Heber Main Street, I am very invested in its future. I am certain Main Street’s best years are ahead of us. With responsible and sustainable growth, the residents of Heber would be able to enjoy a place in the heart of town to gather, shop, recreate, and enjoy music and entertainment. Residents should be able to choose to live in or visit a pedestrian and bicycle friendly space that attracts locals and the dollars of tourists.
The Envision Heber 2050 is a great plan, I would like to see Heber continue to develop that plan.
Balance Preservation & Access
Access to trails and open space is very close to my heart. As an avid mountain biker, I understand the delicate balance between preservation and access.
