“Turn your adventure into a fundraiser and change someone’s life who will then go on to inspire others.”

I was teaching disabled athletes to ski and snowboard but then saw many struggle to afford the equipment. Creating the GoHawkeye Foundation gave me a more fulfilling way to impact adaptive athletes.

“A man can never own too many fly rods.”

I believe that working with the GoHawkeye Foundation is so rewarding because of the results we are able to achieve. We directly impact disabled athletes lives by enabling them to recreate outdoors in nature. Whether the media is photography, filmmaking, or the written word, I have a passion for telling these stories that inspire us all.

“The ADA is not optional; violation is a hate crime, get the f@&k out of my way.”

I left UW-Milwaukee to start a graphic design firm. I moved to Colorado to become a ski bum, supported by waiting tables nights in fine dining. I got run over by a truck while changing the oil on a car in my driveway. I spent two of the next three years in hospitals/nursing homes/rehab centers as my injury required 43 surgeries, with a couple of years after that spent primarily homebound further rehabilitating. I’m now back to ski bumming, my snowboard swapped out for a monoski. I established the Mono Posse Clubhouse, where other monoskiers plus friends and family can freely stay while skiing Telluride. The Clubhouse cultivates the collective experience of the Posse to advance monoskiing, monoski tuning, and après-monoskiing. I advocate to allow Posse members to obtain the rights they have already been granted.

“Change your thoughts and you change your world” –Norman Vincent Peale

Jan became interested in bookkeeping during her years as office manager for a local non-profit organization when she first moved to Telluride. She became a Certified Bookkeeper in 2010 and started a bookkeeping business in 2011. Specializing in non-profit organizations, Jan combines computer and spreadsheet skills in her consulting services. 

GoHawkeye matters to me because my brother was in a wheelchair since age 13 and had the opportunity during his teen years to get out on a 6-wheeler provided with support from our community.  He was able to drive to our hunting cabin each winter to hunt with the family, and to explore the woods with his able-bodied family & friends.  GoHawkeye provides those same opportunities that so enriched my brother’s life.
