As a business operator and 17-12 months resident, I am committed to supporting the Silverthorne community.

In 2020, I labored with the city of Silverthorne and various sellers to elevate more than enough funds to acquire HEPA air purifiers for Silverthorne Elementary lecture rooms.

That summer months, I supported the Loved ones & Intercultural Resource Centre meals financial institution with a price range of $500 for every 7 days at U.S. Foodstuff to order clean dairy and create to aid provide healthy meals for families in need.



And in 2018, 2019 and 2021, I labored with the town of Silverthorne to keep the Locals Appreciation Bash. It is an yearly 1st Friday party that raises dollars for nearby nonprofits. Nonprofits benefitting from the party involve Summit Community Treatment Clinic, Shaw Cancer Centre, Relatives & Intercultural Useful resource Centre, Making Hope Summit County, Bristlecone Well being Services, Summit Musicians Reduction Fund, Domus Pacis, Lake Dillon Preschool and Friends of the Dillon Ranger District.

As an employer, I fully grasp the problems and expenses of retaining very good personnel.

We need to have to present an opportunity for persons to reside, operate and elevate their family members here. Unchecked expansion will be the demise of our neighborhood. As a member of Town Council, I will carry an comprehending of the worries of increasing a relatives and jogging a enterprise in Silverthorne and Summit County.

I will deliver the experience of doing work for a large company and beginning and developing a smaller, profitable enterprise. I know the value of cooperation and assist in the personal and community sectors as our town proceeds to develop. I also know the relevance of studying and listening to all stakeholders involved prior to making selections.
