More About Me
I'm a 4th generation Coloradan and 2nd Generation Native Coloradan, which means my family has been Coloradans for over 115 years. Our children and grandchildren are 3rd and 4th generation Natives
My family has been Colorado farmers and ranchers for those 115 years and I continue that heritage today in Gilpin County
I'm a graduate of Columbine High School and Colorado State University
I've been lucky to be married to my one and only beautiful wife for 33 years and we raised two children in Gilpin County - One daughter and one son
We have two sweet granddaughters and another grandchild on the way
Our county and cities played an important role in establishing The West. It's a free way of life that we can't afford to lose
Horseman
Horsemanship means being a leader to your horse. It means making sure you are taking the upmost care of your horse while asking your horse to do great work for you. A horse will only follow you if it is a willing partner that trusts you. Horsemanship is about creating that relationship
Horsemanship is in my DNA
The Marshall name was apparently first introduced in Britain at the time of the Norman Conquest. It first came from the Latin mariscalus and then evolved from the old German word marah meaning horse and schal meaning servant. In essence, the word means keeper of horses.
From its origins, the name evolved into two quite distinct occupational meanings. The first was someone who looked after horses while the other, similar to a steward or constable, was someone who looked after the cavalry. In time, the latter was responsible for organising any aspect of military, court or civil life
I've held high level executive positions at Ford Motor Company, Coors Brewing Company, and Molson Coors.
My focus and experience has been in Strategic Planning and Finance
