He is a proud native of Cincinnati, Ohio and a graduate of Kent State University. He and his family enjoy the year-round outdoor lifestyle of Colorado—hiking, biking and camping in the spring, summer and fall and skiing and snowshoeing in the winter.

Jaqueline (Jaq) hails from the Great State of Texas. She is a graduate of the University of North Texas and has experience in a diverse array of industries, but it’s her enthusiasm for the great outdoors and broad experience in outdoor hospitality that brought her to ARVC in August of 2019. She’s lived in some beautiful places – Ocean Beach, CA and Red River, NM to name a few, but they just didn’t hold a candle to her beloved Texas. She now calls Austin home, sweet home.

He began his career in a variety of roles in journalism and media relations before spending eight years planning events and managing social media for an NCAA Division I conference. Born and raised in Carbondale, Colo. and a proud graduate of Colorado State University, not even the beaches of San Diego could keep Matt away from his home state for long. He loves all things Colorado, especially the sunshine, mountains, sports and food (tacos and green chile, in particular).

Heather joined the ARVC team in February 2020 but has been working alongside non-profit associations for the past nine years.

Besides working closely with our members, Heather enjoys singing and was once a highly competitive horseback rider. She also enjoys spending time with her rambunctious three year old, husband and dog.
