How many years have you been at Graland? 2
Why did you choose Graland?
We chose Graland because it's important to us to instill a lifelong love of learning in our kids and we saw a vibrancy and a level of enthusiasm here that we didn't find elsewhere. We feel that Graland provides incredible opportunities to explore a wide range of interests and subjects, a rigorous academic environment, and a values-oriented foundation that will serve students well throughout their academic careers and beyond. Graland students are well rounded and curious, and the school is focused on the whole person and their character. Last, but certainly not least, the faculty, staff, and warm community were also a major draw. The people are what really make Graland so incredibly special.

What are some of your child(ren)'s interests & extracurricular activities?
My son is into anything nature and science related, sports (golf, tee ball and soccer especially), he is learning to ski, building things with any materials available, monster trucks, and as a very social guy his favorite thing is spending time with his friends and family!

Tell us some fun facts about you and/or your family:
In addition to our Kindergartener, we have a daughter who is a toddler. We are both originally from Virginia, but made Denver our home about 5 years ago and were drawn to the lifestyle, the access to the outdoors, the fabulous weather, the list goes on! We love getting up to the mountains as much as possible and introducing the kids to all of our favorite outdoor activities (hiking, fly fishing, etc). We both also love live music, playing golf, cooking, and any and all adventures the kids will tolerate!
