Jeremy has lived in Grand County since moving from Flagstaff, AZ, in September 2018, and works in land conservation and nonprofit management. Grand County is a wonderful community in which he can live and learn for many years to come. Among other activities, Jeremy is involved in the Granby Rotary Club and sits on the boards of a handful of community and regional organizations in Colorado and Arizona. Jeremy is an avid reader, enjoying texts of all genres, from Westerns to political memoirs and from fantasy to ecological treatises. He actively encourages his friends to read, including partaking in online and community book exchanges; a book club he created and developed through his work in Flagstaff was passed to the local library system after he left for Colorado and is still going strong. Jeremy is invested in his local community and strives to better himself through active engagement and collaboration with his neighbors, and he looks forward to making a positive impact on the Grand County Library District Board of Trustees. Jeremy enjoys backpacking, running, hiking, playing music, reading, writing, and hanging out with his dog, Cauliflower.

The library, I believe, has been and continues to be, an integral part, and often the nucleus, of any vibrant community, especially in smaller towns.  I have been amazed to see how the GC library system continually provides ever expanding offerings and engages an expansive variety of audiences in the community. As such, I am excited to actively support its continued development by joining the board of GCLD .

My wife and I built our home in Grand Lake in 2017-2018, and  enjoy the lifestyle and the community .

I believe in giving back by being an active and engaged member of the community. I am involved with the following organizations :

  • Grand Lake Creative District - Board President
  • Grand Arts Council - Board President
  • Rocky Mountain Folk School - Board President
  • Grand Lake Area Chamber of Commerce - Board Vice President
  • Rotary Club of Grand Lake - Treasurer
  • Grand Lake Area Historic Society - Board member 

Volunteering provides great continued learning as well as community engagement, two of my passions. The GCLD is certainly right in line with both of them. 

A brief description of my formal education and work experience is below .

BS Clarkson College 1972, MBA Fairleigh Dickinson University 1975, 40+ years international corporate world in heavy equipment for mining and construction industries. Increasing responsibilities with last 15 as President/ General Manager of a business unit.
