I am a native-born Huerfano County resident, from two pioneer families that settled here in the 1800s.  I am a registered nurse, businesswoman, and former Huerfano County Coroner and served on many boards and committees in the community. I am running for office because I feel that Huerfano County deserves a commissioner that will vigorously represent them.

​

It is my mission to work hard in partnership with my fellow residents of Huerfano County to improve their lives, leading  them to a brighter, better future.

November 15, 2015 was a day profound true profound change in my life began.  This was the day I put my guns to the ground. This was the day my beautiful daughter Arizona Star was born. There is something that changes a man when you hold your newborn child for the first time.

Prior to that, it had been a rough and rowdy ride, growing up as an outlaw in Huerfano County, in a small town known as Gardner, Colorado. 

​

Everyone I knew was poor, growing up in Huerfano County. My family lived on a small 80-acre cattle ranch known as the “Last Ditch Homestead”. We ran our cattle on foot. There was no running water.  Like hundreds of other locals, we hauled our drinking water from the local Malachite Spring. We filled our pond and transferred water to a cistern for washwater then, heated it in a round tub on the woodstove.  "Last Ditch Homestead!" Little did I know, this would be a metaphor for the roads to come.
