The Broadmoor

Um, and so when I graduated school and, you know, finished playing soccer at, at Co, I was like, you know, I reached out to him, and I, again, knew I wanted to be in the mountains, so I got a job there.

Um, lived down by the Broadmoor, and, uh, that's where I first lived, and then kinda fell in love with the incline and Manitou in itself.

I mean, there's not too many other places that rival our access, you know, out the door.

There, you know, it's a common thing.

up? So last week I got to speak at the Art and Science of Health Promotion.

conference and it was at the Broadmoor, which is a fancy pants hotel in Colorado Springs that I've never been to.

And it was just so fun.

So I'm really looking forward to, and the thing about speaking with ADHD is you have to delegate that to somebody else because these speaking engagements are months and months out and you almost have to like guess what's going to be popular then.

Wow.

And Enchanted Mesa, the one immediately south of Chautauqua, was owned by Kenneth Myrice, and he was planning to build... a resort hotel, like the Broadmoor, and 200 homes up there.

And fortunately, a couple of years before that, two University of Colorado professors, Al Bartlett and Bob McKelvey, Al was a physics, I think, and McKelvey in mathematics, they met on the campus and And we're talking about what can we do to stop the upward growth of Boulder.

They decided we ought to have a line of altitude above which the city would not be allowed to supply water service or sewer service.

I wanted to learn as much as I possibly could about wine.

I also studied with master mixologist out of New York when I lived in Colorado Springs and worked for the Broadmoor.

Tim, do not discount Colorado Springs.

You can travel there and stay at one of the best hotels in the country, the Broadmoor.

Yeah.

Plus wonderful golf.

That's from Paul from the wealthy part of West County.

Oh,

Broadmoor, beautiful.

Five-star resort.

Um, but I happened to do that.

It was in Colorado Springs, Broadmoor.

Beautiful place.

And I kind of came from nowhere, and I think it kickstarted my career.
