Why did you choose the Roaring Fork Valley?

“It’s the same old story; I came for the skiing but I stayed because the work was much more interesting than what I’d been doing in the Midwest. (I also found the love of my life here!) People in Aspen are happier, more relaxed, and they have more interesting tax problems, both domestic and international. I’m grateful to be here instead of Detroit!” 

What does living the “Aspen Idea” mean to you? 

“Every day, I make sure to enjoy some quiet time outdoors. That could mean going for a hike, spending time with my family and pets, or just watching the snow fall. For fun, my number one side project is helping kids and giving them my all. I serve on the Board of Directors for Ross Montessori School and The Buddy Program.”

Why did you choose to join the team at Reese Henry?

“We care about the client's whole family: their children, their parents, and their friends. Our clients have stories that are amazing and inspirational, and their diverse passions make my work interesting. This drives us all to do our best.”
