Duhigg

 Back to AIMS Community College for the final event on the 2025-26 Speaker Series. My good friend Chalice invited me to sit with her crew to hear from Charles Duhigg, author of several bestsellers including “The Power of Habit.” It was a very inspirational evening, learning how to ask better questions and create stronger habits. We had to turn to the person next to us and ask them “When was the last time you cried in front of another person?” My answer was Oct. 25, 2025. It was fun to see my friend Lisa as the hostess for the evening. No photos were allowed during his talk. Three bonus pictures: some “street art” outside my office, a badge from Apple, and Mrs. Roth getting some love!

Fire

 Let’s check in on the Greeley Fire Department, shall we? I was invited to attend the “Pushing In” ceremony for the three new fire trucks that were recently delivered after ordering them in 2023. It was a very special and meaningful event, with the water from the old truck being splashed on the new truck, the firemen pushing the truck into the bay, and a blessing on both the truck and the firemen from a local pastor. We even got commemorative towels to help dry the new truck off. I’ve been hanging out with the GFD so much, they might offer me a job. 

Denver

 Let’s check in on how things are at the State Capitol, shall we? What a fun day! I was able to participate in Greeley Day at the Capitol as the At-Large Councilman. Council was joined by the City Managers office, the Greeley Chamber, the DDA and UNC. We were able to sit in on the secession on both the House floor (where my name was read into the record), the floor of the Senate (and got a selfie with hopefully the future governor), wandered around the building, and finished with a nice lunch at the University Club. We got to hear from our State Representatives, the Mayor, and the president of UNC. One of my favorite days as a Councilman so far!

Greeley

 Let’s check in on Greeley, shall we? ALLO sponsored the watch parties for the first 2 days of the NCAA tournament in partnership with 1310KFKA. To kick things off, there was a 40 yard dash between Tanner, the morning host, and Brady, the mid-day sports talk host. Brady won. It was awesome! Mrs. Roth even made an appearance!. Always lots going on in municipal government! 

Evans

 Let’s check in on Evans, shall we? Stopped in at the Evans Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours at TightKnit to support my friend Anthony and his career at New York Life. Lots of friends to catch up with, some beer to drink, and some delicious elotas from a local business. When I have time to reflect, it’s crazy how far the Blogmeister has come since he first joined the chamber in 2017. Mom and dad would be so proud. 

Brighton

 Let’s check in on Brighton, shall we? Kept the concert streak going with a big adventure all the way to Brighton on Friday night for the Dave Matthews Tribute Band. We invited the Barnharts along for the fun. The show was awesome! Over 2 hours of DMB songs, hitting all the hits, as well as some deep tracks. Jen was so shocked and happy when the band closed with “Long Black Veil.” Highly recommend!
