About

Although I grew up on the east side of Los Angeles, I can claim to be a third-generation Coloradan, as my father was born in Denver in 1913 while my grandfather was working for the Denver Post as a pressman. That would make my granddaughter Mackenzie, who was born in Lafayette in 2006, the 5th generation in the Centennial State.  My business career had taken me all over the country before finally settling in Boulder in 1991. www.coloradoaffordablehealth.com

I have a BA in Latin American Studies from California State University at Los Angeles ( http://www.calstatela.edu/) and spent two years in Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela as a Peace Corps Volunteer ( http://www.peacecorps.gov/ ). I then spent 26 years in sales and sales management with Scott Paper Company and Fort Howard Paper Corporation, with assignments in Los Angeles; Portland; Oregon; Omaha; Boston; Seattle; and finally, Boulder.

I began my latest career as a licensed health insurance broker in 2002 and sold it in December of 2013. Since then I have joined the Rotary Club of Boulder Valley and have gotten involved with a number of their volunteer projects. In March of 2014 I went with a group of other club members to Jalapa, Nicaragua to investigate a water project we propose to support through Second Mile Water.

I enjoy living here, especially in autumn. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Since I started playing in college, I have had a lifelong interest in Rugby and am now a member of the Boulder Rugby Football Club’s Old Boy team. (http://www.boulderrugby.com/). My present goal is to finally master Spanish.

Cindy Schlager is my long-term partner and friend. I have a son and daughter and three gorgeous granddaughters.
