I offer a unique macro and micro perspective of West Metro, foothill and close-in mountain communities in Jefferson, Clear Creek, Gilpin and Boulder Counties. As a life-long resident, and through my unique experiences, I know the wider West Metro Area and individual communities intimately. I have lived, loved, played and worked in the West Metro Area my whole life, with family, friends and outdoor adventures across the region. 

North to south from Longmont and Lyons to Morrison and Evergreen and west to the Peak to Peak Highway, I've got you covered! Whether you’ve narrowed your search down to a specific city or neighborhood, or you’re still exploring the wider region, I provide deep local knowledge and experience to help you find your dream home. 

Call today and let’s talk about how to achieve your real estate goals!

Genesee and Evergreen

As an empty nester today, I live in Evergreen in Clear Creek County. As a child I attended summer camp and had friends and family in the area and always felt a deep connection here. I know my way around these mountain roads and dispersed neighborhoods and know the pulse of the community and local market.

Boulder

I moved to Boulder in 6th grade and ultimately graduated from Fairview High School and CU (ENVD, Urban Planning) and raised my children, who are 4th generation Boulderites.

As a student of urban planning at CU-Boulder, the burgeoning Boulder/Denver Metro Area was our case study, further expanding my knowledge of the region, and I managed several county-wide campaigns and know Boulder County down to the precinct level.

My children were born in and raised in Old North Boulder. Everything we needed was within 12-square blocks (I even walked to Community Hospital at Balsam and Broadway when I was in labor; my children's father was born there, too). It was an amazing lifestyle to be able to walk to mostly everything we needed, including schools, doctor/dentist, grocery and other stores/bisinesses, Downtown, and trails). Today, my range has expanded to an hour, which is just perfect for me now. 

Nobody knows Boulder County and it's individual communities better than I do!

Having family, life-long friends and clients in Boulder, I am there often. 

Peak to Peak 

My family has generations deep ties to the higher altitude communities along the Peak to Peak Highway, too. My children's Great-Grandfather, Harold Walton, was a CU Professor of Chemistry, pioneering local mountaineer and founding member of Rocky Mountain Rescue. Their Grandmother, Liz Caile, had a column in the Mountain Ear for 20 years, which were compiled into a book upon her passing called A Life at Treeline. Liz and her husband, Skip Green, a beloved Nederland native, lived off-grid above Ward off the Peak to Peak (they were hardy souls!) and my children's memories of grandma's and grandpa's house include bears sneaking into the kitchen to eat freshly baked cookies, rides behind the snowmobile in the rescue litter and tromping through the snow to find the perfect Christmas tree to cut each season, though we seemed to always wind up with a Charlie Brown tree.

As I travel back and forth between Boulder and Evergreen, my preferred route is Boulder Canyon to the Peak to Peak through Nederland, Rollinsville and Black Hawk down to Evergreen, visiting friends and family along the way, and It's a good bet you'll find me at Toss in Rollinsville, about the half-way point, enjoying a hazy and Verde pizza.

West Metro

Through 5th grade, my family lived in West Denver/Wheat Ridge where I attended Brown and Centennial Elementary Schools. When my mother and I moved to Boulder, my father remained in West Denver and Wheat Ridge and I continued to spend time there, too. I took guitar lessons as a child in the old Flesher-Hinton building at 39th and Tennyson, now the outdoor gear retailer Feral. The neighborhood sure has changed, I just love the revival of Tennyson Street and enjoy spending time there today. 

Denver

Many a day and night was spent in Denver, from visiting family and friends, to  shopping and dining; to dance clubs, theater, concerts and sporting events; to my children's other grandparent's house in Washington Park; to family holiday ice skating and dinner at the Denver Country Club; to frequent trips as my children grew up to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, the Zoo, the Botanic Gardens, and Six Flags.  Today my children have left Boulder and reside in Denver. I know my way around the streets of Denver's neighborhoods, too, and know the pulse of the Metro Region.
