She continues to use this flexibility to volunteer in education, South Park community events, and her daughter’s Girls Scout troop and gymnastics team. She prides herself in being available to help wherever she is needed.
Her favorite pastimes include: DIY home projects, hiking the beautiful Colorado trails, thrifting treasures, hosting dinners for her family and friends, and cozying up at the end of the day with Netflix.

Calvin Nelson
Calvin Nelson is the devoted husband of one remarkable wife and the father of two inspiring children, all three of whom have accomplished the difficult feat of making him a better person without, for the most part, holding his shortcomings against him.
He is also a Colorado native, a reluctant Rockies fan, a semi-professional veteran of the software industry, and can occasionally be overheard claiming that he was once a fairly decent skier. This claim is becoming increasingly difficult to verify.
For the past 11+ years, Calvin has maintained gainful employment with an engineering and construction technology company, where he is responsible for the business development of project controls and construction management solutions. This involves meetings, strategies, presentations, spreadsheets, and other activities that would be considerably more exciting if they involved treasure maps or secret passages.
Outside of work, Calvin coaches softball, cheers enthusiastically for his daughters at gymnastics, gets some exercise with the Littleton Academy Running Club, and participates in chess matches against his wife, who defeats him with such consistency that one might reasonably wonder why he continues to sit down at the board.
Like his daughters, who are currently in second and fourth grade, Calvin attended a charter school. His was Academy Charter School in Douglas County, which he attended during its inaugural years, before the school had such luxuries as a playground or a complete set of interior walls. Despite these architectural inconveniences, his elementary education established a strong academic foundation, a lasting love of learning, and a deep appreciation for rigorous, student-focused education.
A decade later, his younger brother and sister attended Littleton Academy while Calvin attended the University of Northern Colorado, where he coaxed from the Dean a Bachelor's degree in Marketing. This degree has proven useful on numerous occasions, particularly when explaining what a degree in Marketing is useful for.
Calvin is grateful for the opportunity to serve the families, students, and staff members of Littleton Academy. He is committed to making thoughtful, data-driven, and compassionate decisions that advance the mission of Littleton Academy and help ensure that every student is given the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
