I learned that day that the way we pour into others can have lasting impact and change the world around us in ways we'll never know. I'm blessed by my dad's legacy to his community and to his family. This Father’s Day month, we honor all the fathers and father figures in our lives. Thank you for always being there.

“It all started with an interest in the outdoors on family vacations...” TELL OUR READERS ABOUT YOURSELF I’m Darryl Jones, Senior Vice President with Coventry Development Corporation (CDC). I completed my landscape architecture degree from UC Berkeley and master’s degree in City Planning from MIT. I’ve lived in Colorado for 23 years. Additionally, I work with the Urban Land Institute, whose goal is to promote best practices and education in the real estate industry. Since the events of the George Floyd murder last year they have begun to dedicate efforts on understanding and helping eliminate systemic racism and discrimination in the real estate industry. HOW DID YOU COME TO WORK IN YOUR SPECIFIC FIELD? It all started with an interest in the outdoors on family vacations to our national parks, observing the natural environment.

SPECIFIC TO THE 2020 PANDEMIC, WHAT CHALLENGES DID YOU FACE PROFESSIONALLY? Necessity is the mother of invention and we needed to continue conducting business and moving the economy forward. While we are working remotely like most companies, real estate transactions still require establishing relationships and physical observation of property as part of due diligence.

Founder, BP’s Fight Against ALS bpsfight.com facebook.com/BPsFight/ TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF. I’m Bill Martin and I live in Lone Tree, Colorado and with my wife, and two children. HOW DID YOU COME TO WORK IN YOUR SPECIFIC FIELD. I was senior buyer for sports apparel. Sports Authority closed in 2016, and two weeks later I was diagnosed with ALS. I’d been an active 50-year-old, my first symptoms were in my hands, like typing at work and holding onto the bar for pullups. I couldn’t keep my weight up despite consuming 4000 calories daily. ALS is typically a two to five year disease from time of diagnosis. As my mass and strength diminished, I realized my purpose on this earth is to raise awareness for this rare disease. I founded Bill Paul’s Fight Against ALS to raise money to increase awareness of ALS and fund research. That fuels me everyday. TELL US ABOUT TESTIFYING IN FRONT OF CONGRESS. As a board member of the Rocky Mountain ALS Association, I was asked to testify to Congress about better funding ALS research. I spoke virtually with three Congressional representatives as well as a Senator. As the saying goes, it is not an incurable disease, it is an under-funded one! WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE RECEIVED, AND THAT YOU REPEAT TO OTHERS?

S COT T RU S S O M A NN O TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF. I’m Scott Russomanno, a Colorado native, Highlands Ranch resident with my wife of 11 years, three incredible children, and Mr. Bojangles, our boxer. I’m Founder and Executive Director of the All-Stars Club, a ministry that provides life-giving events for friends with developmental disabilities while offering respite for their families. My wife and I also own and operate two Pure Barre fitness studios in the area and share homeschooling duties. HOW DID YOU COME TO WORK IN YOUR FIELD? In 2006 I started an adult sports ministry at Red Rocks Church which partnered with local charities. It became apparent that families caring for adult children with developmental disabilities were vastly underserved. The Lord put into our hearts to serve this need with free events for friends with special needs that focused on fun, friends, and faith, all while giving their caregivers a break. WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE RECEIVED, AND THAT YOU REPEAT TO OTHERS? My favorite professor said, “competency is our primary witness.” We are most influential when we are at our best and strive for excellence in our craft.

SPECIFIC TO THE WORLDWIDE COVID PANDEMIC, WHAT CHALLENGES DID YOU FACE, AND HOW DID YOU RESPOND? Beginning in March 2020, we pivoted 180 degrees to providing PPE and other necessary equipment to U.S. hospitals and others on the frontline of the COVID fight. We launched PPE drives with professional sports teams including the Denver Broncos and many others. WHAT ADVICE DO YOU REPEAT TO OTHERS? The older I get, the more advice I seem to share.

evolved, and the term now extends to waxes, creams and clays built to give specific benefits to every hair type and style.
01
W I T H VA R I E T Y COMES CONFUSION. WHICH IS RIGHT?
The answer depends on the look you desire. Pomades offer varying amounts of shine, hold and texture. Some are water-based for a lighter look, others are beeswax for more substantial hold and old-school shine. For slick hair, high shine, and strong hold, reach for a waxbased product. Common cream stylers give your hair smoothness and hold with a matte finish. For texture,

the day. A powder-based product offers definition, thickness and texture without additional shine. If you want fuller-looking hair, pick out a thickening pomade.
02
HOW MUCH?
When it comes to styling products, less is more. Always start with a small amount and build from there. Too much product can leave your hair looking oily and weighed down, so better to layer the product in your hair until you have the desired result.
03
W E T O R D RY ?
It depends on the product and desired look. Wet hair dilutes a water-based pomade by reducing its hold level. A wax-based product applied to wet hair might not coat the hair and could inhibit results. Toweldried hair is the best bet to ensure easier application and the best performance. Dry application often works best for fine or thinning hair.
Highlands Ranch Lifestyle | June 2021
04
H O W T O A P P LY ?
To make product easier to apply, rub between your hands to heat up and emulsify. Then, apply the product from roots to ends. Once the hair is evenly coated, use a comb or fingers to set your look.
05
LOOKING GOOD!
Have fun with your products. Picking the right product and mastering technique requires trial-and-error, but worth the effort. Remember you have many options for many looks. Do it up!
