About Us...


"Us" includes myself, my family, perhaps you, and the board of advisors. Rather than have a standard bio here, I thought I'd share with you a school project written by my son:

Hero Project for 11th Grade, by Skyler

Throughout life, there are many people and events that inspire us and shape who we are today. It was very hard for me to choose a "hero" for this project, because there are many people I look up to, but no one I idolize. I also dislike America's love for the meaningless happenings of various celebrities. There is, however, one person that stands out in my mind significantly, my mom.

My mother has persevered though many different situations and has many admirable attributes. She is an entrepreneur, she managed a painful divorce, and is a minor philanthropist.

My mom, Kathleen, started her own business that deals with real estate referrals. It is still very successful. She wanted to work at home so she could be with my brother and myself more often. There are often major catastrophes she has to deal with, such as people trying to undermine her job. She has taught me how to work smart as well as hard, like earning passive income. I hope to start my own business someday as well. She helped start many other organizations as well such as the Mountain Area Music Association and the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents.

Many find it hard to believe that my parents were divorced yet they get along just as well as if they were ordinary friends. After they got divorced my Dad decided to live near to my Mom's house so my brother and I could transfer back and forth every week. It was very hard for my mom to go through the divorce, especially during the first few years. She is now writing a book on how to have a "successful divorce" with children.

Another thing my mom did was help set up other organizations such as Mountain Area Land Trust; the Victims Assistance Program, and the first overnight battered woman's shelter in Denver. She has her Masters degree in social work and worked as such for four years after college. She mainly worked in crisis centers helping all sorts of people. She has continuously supported protecting the environment. Just recently, she bought land in Costa Rica, which eventually will be returned into natural habitat for animals.

My mother has accomplished many things that this paper helped me to realize. Through her struggles through divorce, to her business, to her charitable work, she has made quite an impact on my life and my future.

My Family
My 19 year-old son Skyler is now graduated from high school and recently moved out to live in his own apartment. That is a couragous thing to do these days! He is a bright and handsome guy, has a warm heart and loves animals. Of course right now his eye is on college and the appeal of the big city life and hot rod cars.

My 16 year-old son Forrest is an emerging young man with a fabulous gift for drawing and art. He doesn't like school much, but tries to appease his parents with good grades. He's intuitive, funny, generous, and fun to be around. He's been to Costa Rica with me and would love to come more often.  He loves the surfing and wildlife.
