About Me
I moved back home to Golden, CO in 1998, and started my financial services practice in 1999. In 2006 I became a single parent via divorce. (How's that for politically correct?) I live on the west edge of the Denver metro area with lots of open space around me, where I enjoy walking with my dog and my best friend, Barbara. It's a nice place to ride my horse, too.
My Interests
My family and my business, of course. I love God and learning more of His Word, and it's great to get a different perspective on things from different viewpoints. I love to hunt and ride my horse and my Harley. I still help my old friend, Jerome Robinson, with the production end of a couple of rodeos every year. In the last few years I have really enjoyed getting into snorkeling.
Employment or Career
I am a financial advisor, specializing in retirement and estate planning. I work with a lot of small business owners. I started in 1999, and in 2004 I completed the requirements for my CFP (Certified Financial Planner) designation. I work with AXA Advisors, a global financial and insurance company, as a District Manager in the Denver Branch. I love what I do and it's very fulfilling, seeing how it helps people.
Music I Like
Both kinds, Country and Western. Some old, some new. Toby Keith, Hal Ketchum.
I like a little Rock and Roll, too. Bon Jovi, Paul Simon, Eric Clapton, Rod Stewart.
Books I Like
I mostly read things that help me with my business and that motivate me. I recently read "It's Your Ship" by Michael Abrashoff. Excellent! I really enjoyed "Influence" by Robert Cialdini, too.
Television I like
About all I watch is Sports and Movies.
Movies I like
The World's Fastest Indian
Sports Teams I like
Denver Bronco's
Colorado Rockies
Colorado Avalanche
Denver Nuggets
Duke basketball

Once upon a time, when we went to Ouray for the rodeo, you asked me to taste the huge pot of coffee and see if it was done. I tasted it and said it was ok. You then said, "I don't know why I asked you, if I gave you a handful of beans & some warm water you would be happy." The thought continues to fester... but everywhere I have worked in the last 28 years has experienced better coffee before I left!
Love to you both,
Nancy
It brought back memories of you and your HUGE cup!
Thanks for the thought and for keeping in touch.
read this, thought of you, Gunnison, and good times!!!
In Praise of Joe
by Marge Piercy
I love you hot
I love you iced and in a pinch
I will even consume you tepid.
Dark brown as wet bark of an apple tree,
dark as the waters flowing out of a spooky swamp
rich with tannin and smelling of thick life—
but you have your own scent that even
rising as steam kicks my brain into gear.
I drink you rancid out of vending machines,
I drink you at coffee bars for $6 a hit,
I drink you dribbling down my chin from a thermos
in cars, in stadiums, on the moonwashed beach.
Mornings you go off in my mouth like an electric
siren, radiating to my fingertips and toes.
You rattle my spine and buzz in my brain.
Whether latte, cappuccino, black or Greek
you keep me cooking, you keep me on line.
Without you, I would never get out of bed
but spend my life pressing the snooze
button. I would creep through wan days
in the form of a large shiny slug.
You waken in me the gift of speech when I
am dumb as a rock buried in damp earth.
It is you who make me human every dawn.
All my books are written with your ink.

You were so helpful when Charlene and I got to LA. Charlene is doing great by the way remarried to the kind of person I knew she would find. She's writing a book about her experience with 'The Way".
love and peace

Columbus and runs her own painting company. She is also a FF/Paramedic. I am a Paramedic with the New Bremen Emergency Squad and still have my window cleaning business.
I guess that about sums it up. I'm thankful you are doing so well.

Great to hear back from you. You look great too... glad you are doing well. I don't remember Cactus. He must have been after I left. Hard to believe they have no horses there anymore... sad. That barn is so great, I remember so many times out there. I so clearly remember taking turns with Geissler on whose night it was to sleep in the stall waiting for one of the mares to give birth. We just had to catch it all on camera... those were a few sleepless weeks. Then Victory was born out in the open and said hello to everyone... that was special. My time at Gunnison was really one of the greatest times in life. It was very full and very rich and meaningful. I felt like I was able to give a lot and really lived each moment very fully.
God's best to you!!
