I'd Appreciate Your Vote!

I am a full-time Windsor resident who arrived in 1989. Windsor is where we've raised our adult, 3 children. Our oldest is a chemical engineer, Our, middle daughter is a nurse and my son is poised to take over my company when I retire. I have been a lifelong mountain bike enthusiast; however, father time has made that endeavor off limits.  My wife and I just purchased electric bikes which we have put almost 30 miles on since the weather's been nicer, with many more miles to go. We have been a camping family since my wife and I met in 1984. I'm fortunate enough to own 2 fifth wheel campers, one which I park at crystal lakes and the other one is for travel when we want to go away from home base. I also play six-string acoustic guitar. (not going on tour) Mostly for personal enjoyment which I started to play when I was 36 years old. My gravelly voice adds a bit to the songs. Again, father time has limited that ability.

I started in the security industry in May1984. Many long timers in Fort Collins may remember guardian security services which is where I started. It was actually Denver burglar alarm which maintained the Guardian name for a couple of years and then they Rebranded to Denver burglar alarm (DBA). I spent six years as a service tech. I was then promoted to management and ran the armored car division which again long timers in Fort Collins might remember a BuJacks Armored then, rebranded to guardian armored services. Beau jacks armored was in dis-functional state upon my arrival within two years I was able to rebuild the company from the inside out and turn it into a profitable corporation. When I left guardian armored after four years we had all the major bank Armored, ATM and Courier services in Northern Colorado as our customers. I left that position after four years when our twins were born and became a Mr. Mom. Being a Mr. mom was a very rewarding experience and I have made lifelong friends through the babysitting a whop that I was involved in.  I'm still friendly with many of the moms still to this day. I was laughingly referred to as the Token male. 

I started my own company when the kids were four years old.  I used to work nights and weekends to  install security systems here in Windsor. The community was well aware of my Mr. mom status and embraced my position in life and I was able to build my company to where we are today.

Community involvement is probably my lengthiest resume. My very first endeavor in Colorado when I was single was to be involved in the partners program which many in Fort Collins had heard about and still exist to this day. Again, I see some of my fellow partner mentors to this day and we reminisce about the old days. I was heavily involved in Windsor charter Academy prior to its formation and then after its formation. I spent seven years on the board with two years as the President. I actually, designed the two-story edition of the building. During this time, I was also actively involved in Kiwanis in Windsor and also did a couple years as the president. My biggest community involvement in Kiwanis was to host the community dinner for nearly 15 years. This dinner provided free meals to seniors which we routinely hosted about 150 meals all of which was donated food and labor we also had a shutdown service that provided another 50 meals delivered to Windsor residents. During my days at guardian armored services, I was also a co-founder of what is now called the McKee community classic bike tour in Loveland every year. 

I Transitioned to Rotary 13 years ago and have been involved in many community volunteer events during this period of time. I am also currently the president of Rotary for the second, one year the second one leadership role. 

I have been involved in many more community activities. I have been the face of the McAvoy family and the community while my wife stayed home with the kids when they were littler. All of my children helped out in various endeavors when it was age appropriate my daughter actually ran a couple years’ worth of the Kiwanis dinner as a community service while she was in high school.

This is always the hardest part of being involved on any board. The most cost-effective way for us to communicate with members is through electronic format newsletter. As a board member It would be my hope that the president of the board would send out a monthly newsletter which would require that each board member submit a brief paragraph on their committee involvement. This newsletter can be stored on The CLRRA website for review would with a 12 month rolling history.

I believe this is one of my strong suits. As a business owner for nearly 30 years. I have written out many boom/bust cycles, Through conservative thinking, actions and real-world projections of future political and real world implications. I believe in strengthening our reserve funds while spending wisely moving forward while enhancing the business and therefore the membership interaction and experience.

I believe the most important thing we can do is wildfire mitigation. We should capitalize on every dollar available and utilize every man hour we can muster to remove all dead fuel materials from member property and open space areas. My wife and I also like to hike and we have hiked about half of the trails in crystal lakes. I strongly support the Greenbelt management committee and their efforts to beautify crystal lakes
