Hill Grimmett

I am an avid “locavore,” and come to this work with more than 35 years of experience in both the business and non-profit worlds.  My background includes a B.A. in Studies in Religion (U Michigan), M.Div. (Harvard Divinity School) and M.B.A. (Boston University). On the non-profit side, I’ve worked with organizations doing youth services, employment training, economic development and community development. For the past 20 years, I’ve been a management consultant for small businesses in many different sectors including high tech, construction, manufacturing and telecommunications. An enthusiastic gardener, an amateur musician, the father of one grown son, I’ve called Fort Collins home since 2000.
