About Tammy: I have been blessed to live in Broomfield for over 30 years. I have a passion for our community and the people in it. I am a connector by heart, in business, with friends, and by helping those around me build community and expand their business. My faith, family and friends mean the world to me.

Q: Please tell us a little bit about your family.

A: I have been married for over 30 years. My kids were born and raised here and graduated from Broomfield High School and went on to attend and graduate from the University of Colorado, Boulder. I feel very blessed they both live close by.

Q: Please tell us about your current, past, or future career. What do you love most about what you do?

A: I worked at Amgen until I had children and then started working from home. I built a large organization of 800 consultants with Southern Living at Home. That is where I fell in love with working with people! I am currently the Sales Manager for Our Broomfield Magazine. I love it because I get to meet and work with AMAZING people in our community and help them build their business through connecting with them and our magazine.

Q: What are a couple of your favorite restaurants in our community?

A: Papa Franks is a long time favorite. Also 3 Margaritas, Pearl Wok, North Side Tavern, Great Scotts, and First Watch. We have many amazing restaurants in the area.

Q: Who is the most interesting person you’ve met here in our community?

A: Tina Eichner, because of her passion for helping people and keeping our community feeling small and connected even when we have grown so big. I love that it still feels like a close community.

Q: What advice would you give to people?

A: Love people where they are at and give grace. Don’t we all need that?

Q: What current or former local business makes you the most nostalgic about our community?

A: Our Broomfield because of the great articles that speak to our history. I remember advertising in it over 15 years ago.

Q: If you could choose anyone that is alive today and not a relative; with whom would you love to have lunch? Why? And where locally would you meet for this lunch?

A: Any of my best friends because they have shaped who I am today. But if I had to pick, my best friend from Middle School, Kelly. Because I have not seen her in over 20 years and I miss her. We would meet at North Side Tavern and have a drink with a nice lunch!

Q: What is your favorite thing or something unique about our community?

A: We are a BIG community, but it still feels like a small town.

Q: Where do you see yourself in 5 to 10 years?

A: In Broomfield with my family close by. Also, hoping to still be volunteering at FISH and other local charities.

Q: (Even for friends or family), what is something interesting that most people don’t know about you?
