“For any collective group, the success of that group relies upon the accountability of each member. This applies across so many facets of life – family, sports team, school projects, professional organizations, and commercial organizations. I pride myself on being a reliable team member who always delivers. Hyder prides itself on being accountable to our customers and the commitments we make, and that takes a collective effort from the whole organization being accountable for our individual commitments to our clients and each other.”
Life Outside Hyder
“My wife Julie and I both grew up in St. Louis. We started dating after college and got married in 2013, the same year we moved out to Colorado. She’s a Physician Assistant specializing in orthopedics. Like me, my wife loves getting outdoors and staying active. My wife and I both grew up in very active families, always on the go to games, practices, and extracurricular activities. She’ll never turn down a hike or a camping trip. We have two kids, Wesley and Cora, which is a whole new type of adventure every day. My favorite hobbies are golf, skiing, cycling, running, and hiking. I especially enjoy laps around the park with my wife and kids. Kids have the best imaginations and such pure excitement about so many things (firetrucks, planes, dogs, rocks, snacks, etc.).”
