Ann-Marie is a decorated financial professional ' with numerous national accolades ' and 24 years of experience working with high-net-worth families. She firmly believes that investment management, financial, estate and tax planning must be employed together in order to maximize wealth for current and future generations.

When asked why she joined Town Council, Ann-Marie said "My dad has always said that if you don't participate then you really need to shut the heck up! One of the reasons that I love Silverthorne is because in every sense of the word, we are a community, and our growth and vibe come from the ideas, the volunteerism, the participation and the hard work of our community members. I'm proud to live here and serving on Town Council is my way of participating in our community and hopefully making it a more enjoyable place."

Ann-Marie has lived in Silverthorne for 16 years and loves being outdoors. She enjoys skiing both resorts and backcountry terrain, along with hiking, biking, paddle boarding and golfing. While she says that she is a lousy fly fisherwoman, she sure loves being on the river. Ann-Marie's favorite thing about living in Silverthorne is seeing a friend or neighbor out on a trail and also knowing that we all live in a pretty special place.
