Most recently, Sam served as President/CEO of the Broomfield Chamber of Commerce, starting there in July of 2017. Prior to taking over the reins at the Chamber, he served on the Broomfield City Council for eight years where he focused on regional cooperation joining such organizations as Colorado Counties Incorporated, Colorado Municipal League, Boulder County Consortium of Cities and many others. While not a native, he got here as soon as he could and moved to Broomfield in 1984. He is a former Sales Manager, and Purchasing manager, and founded a successful manufacturing company in the early 1990’s. He has been active in nonprofits such as FISH, FRIENDS of Broomfield, Imagine!, and Bal Swan Children’s Center, and currently sits on the Board of Directors for Mental Health Partners. He and his wife bought their first home in Broomfield in 1988, was married in South Midway park, and raised his family here. He continues to live in Broomfield with his wife and son and is building the first approved Accessory Dwelling Unit in Broomfield since they were approved by City Council. Sam brings a wealth of experience and community connections to Imagine!, and we are delighted he is joining our team!
