chance to fulfill a dream of small mountain town living. Embracing the remote work and school lifestyle that became standard during the pandemic, Megan, her husband, their two teenage kids, and the dog packed up and set off on a two-year adventure. She loved and treasures the experience. But moving away also gave the Nashville native the gift of knowing that Boulder, the place she’s called home since 1991, is where she feels a true sense of belonging. Where the San Juans were a great chance for exploration, Boulder represents for Megan a place where she can nurture: her community, through volunteer work; her family and friends; and her network of clients built from a 25-year career in Real Estate.

Wherever You Go, There You Are
Returned this summer from Telluride, Megan is happy to be back. Through the adventure, she drove or flew to Boulder regularly, continuing to serve her Front Range clients. “It really made me so thankful for the community here in Boulder,” Megan said. “Telluride is one of the most beautiful places in the world, but I think Boulder is a pretty close runner-up.”

Natural scenery aside, Megan’s commitment to volunteering and community involvement are no doubt just as beautiful in the humanistic sense. When she’s not out selling homes, she’s out on trails (though, sometimes taking work calls there, too), spending time with family, or volunteering with organizations that make lives better. While living in Telluride, she donated hours to “every little thing under the sun,” she said. (Read: all those wonderful festivals Telluride is known for and Telluride AIDS Benefit (TAB).) “I’ve realized that is so much for me at this point in my career. I just love giving back to the community as much as possible,” she said. She gets that from her mother (newly 90!), who Megan said instilled in her six children (Megan is the youngest) gratitude and the value of community. “The main goals in life shouldn’t be just about gaining more monetarily or moving up the corporate ladder. What can we give back? What can we teach our kids about our great community and loving where they live? That’s huge.” For Megan, community support runs deep and is also deeply personal.
