Cozy Lake House - Lakeville/Salisbury - Near Hotchkiss and IMS

Life in rural Colorado is nothing short of an adventure. My wife, Nicole, and I have built a life here with our two daughters, Lennon and McCartney—yes, we’re Beatles fans through and through. Our home is filled with laughter, music, and the boundless energy of our three dogs, who seem to think they own the place more than we do.

Camping is in our blood. There’s something about loading up the camper, hitting the road, and escaping into the wilderness that never gets old. Whether it’s pitching tents beneath the stars or waking up to crisp mountain air, those moments remind me why we chose to live surrounded by nature. Lennon always has her eyes peeled for wildlife, while McCartney is on a never-ending quest to roast the world’s most perfect marshmallow.

Golfing is another love of mine—there’s no better feeling than the perfect swing on a sunny afternoon. Nicole is pretty competitive on the course, and the girls are quickly catching on to the game. We’re a family that thrives on sports, whether it’s a casual backyard match or cheering from the stands during a local game.

And then there’s traveling. While Colorado will always be home, we love exploring places far and wide, collecting stories and experiences along the way. Every trip adds another chapter to our family’s adventure, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Through it all—whether we’re hiking a mountain trail, teeing up on a golf course, or embarking on a new journey—life is rich, full, and exactly the way we want it to be.
