Connie was born and raised in Denver. She grew up spending lots of time outdoors camping and hunting with her dad and five brothers. She attended Metro State College and then Regis University for her B.A. in English. In 2012, she and her husband, Casey, welcomed their first child, Peyton. She then began to learn the art of parenting. Over the next several years, they grew their family with Jocelyn and Avery.

Throughout her years of being a stay-at-home parent, she has volunteered to lead community groups and found the community of Denver Pres to be a place where she can share her greatest joys and her deepest sorrows. As the Director of Community Connection, Connie longs for others at DPC to encounter the community in the same beautiful ways she has experienced it.

Connie spends her free time reading, going on adventures with her family, and baking. She’s always cooking or baking—she loves the way that food brings people together.
