I grew up in Europe where I was a travel agent and tour guide leading cultural exchange programs. I have lived in Boulder since my early 20s, and attended Free School classes at Highland during a previous incarnation of the building.

I owned and managed a land surveying and engineering company for many years, and completed projects including Concourse B at DIA, the CU Research Park, Arvada Arts and Humanities Complex, and many others, including the initial survey of Highland when Sina first bought it in 1978.

I have worked on transformational education course design for several national organizations such as PAIRS, Fearless Living, Hoffman Institute, and Life Force. I am an advanced Enneagram instructor, my forte being delivery of rapid change through condensed education and experiential processes. I have served as a Board member for several award-winning non-profits.

My spouse, Robin Temple is a family and couples therapist. We have taught relational education classes for many years. I am a devoted dancer using the Five Rhythms map, a baby whisperer, friend of children, and a poet.
