Sean Plumb:  

from BCHS. I still think back to the ALTEX opportunities we had. We were exposed to some very interesting work/study/experiences: ski industry sessions in the Boat, the Butte, Vail and others. Lew Buckingham was pretty friggin' dialed in. The desert trips were just that. I've been back to Canyonlands a couple of times, once on a raft trip where the ALTEX experiences helped prepare me for dealing with adversity. College Western was a great ride. I guess it must have been, since I stayed there for six years. No really, the folks that get to go to Gunny are lucky, because the exposure to great faculty and low student to professor ratios is huge. I think there were many more opportunities than could be had in a larger institution. Around the Turn of the Century (that's funny, huh?) I went to DU (Daniels College of Business) to do their Executive MBA program. After some remedial programs in Accounting, Finance and Stats, (because my MA in Music didn't prepare for Cash Flow analysis, NPV or T-Values) we started the program. After some introductory coursework, we went on a sailing trip to San Diego, to storm, norm and bond. What a great way to start the program. The integrated course work was both rigorous and interesting. For our international section we went to Chile, Argentina and Uruguay. I can't say enough about the Daniels program. It is really superior. Workplace Horizon Bank in Golden VP of TP. Just kiddin'. This is a great bank that has grown fast, all through asset growth instead of aquisitions. The branch I'm at has a great team of lenders, assistants and staff. We do some great commercial deals, have interesting clients and compete in a challenging rate environment.
