Rob’s upbringing taught him the value of hard work, grit, determination, and what small businesses mean to a family and a community. Rob's great-grandfather moved to Riverton, Wyoming, in 1906 to serve as the surveyor for the town, canal, and road projects throughout Wyoming. His grandfather George was born in that same town in 1910 and drove trucks for his entire adult life. Rob’s father Bob was born in Riverton in 1947. ​When Rob was born, his family lived in a camper while his dad moved around the state on a road construction crew. When Rob was two, his dad quit in order to seek more stable opportunities for his young family. They moved into the trailer court with a single-wide.
LAST SESSION:
As I walked doors November of 2018, voices were continuing to echo the same concern: sooner or later the big one, the fire that will burn the state to the ground. Once I heard these concerns, I took action and introduced SB19-037. This bill would have authorized Larimer County to step in on behalf of their residents so that the county can step on to federal and state land to reduce the fuel and reduce the threat of a potential wildfire. As your State Senator, I want to ensure the big one is delayed for as long as possible and when it comes, Colorado is able to handle the repercussions.
MOVING FORWARD:
As Colorado continues to fight back against the horrible concerns of wildfires, I plan to continue finding remedies to these issues. I want to ensure homeowners living in the very depths of the forests feel safe and protected by their surroundings. I want them to feel comforted that their state and city is doing everything they can to protect their lives.
