Even better, the community has benefited greatly from all his dedication, volunteerism and hard work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Factbox Text\">Mowrey works with his wife and his mom full time at Epic Mountain Sports, a locally owned, family run business in Winter Park that keeps customers geared up for the slopes and in the seat. He\u2019s also a volunteer with East Grand Fire and deputy liaison officer with Grand County\u2019s COVID-19 response team. While Mowrey said he wants to do more traveling, Grand County will always be his home base and he doesn\u2019t see him or his family going anywhere anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Factbox Text\">What made you choose to live and work in Grand County?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Factbox Text\">I am one of the lucky ones who grew up here. My dad is from Jersey. My mom\u2019s from Texas. They were living in Texas in the early \u201980s, had gone skiing and it was way too far to drive, so they moved to Colorado. We lived in Evergreen in 1990. In 1999, it still wasn\u2019t close enough and they made the bump over the hill.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\" readability=\"6\">\n<div class=\"row shn-donation shn-donation-mobile p-0\" readability=\"7\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.skyhinews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/02\/shn-logo-2x-wht.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyhinews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/02\/shn-logo-2x-wht.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\" onclick=\"handleDonationButtonClickMidArticle()\">Donate<\/button><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Factbox Text\">Where do you see yourself in 10 years?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Factbox Text\">Still in Grand County. Growing up here, going to school here, it was an amazing place to grow up. There are so many different activities. I like knowing everyone, so in 10 years I hope to be here raising my son here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Factbox Text\">If there were one thing you could change, what would it be and why?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Factbox Text\">It would be awesome to add just a little more to our summers up here. Little bit more biking, little bit more camping. We\u2019d have to give up a little of our early and late ski season, which isn\u2019t all that great anyway. I still love winter, but I could use a little more summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Factbox Text\">Who is your hero and why?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Factbox Text\">It would be both my parents. They were just amazing parents. They raised me and gave me such great opportunities and support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Factbox Text\">What advice or encouragement would you offer a young professional trying to make it in the county?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Factbox Text\">Work a lot of different jobs and be an employee that someone would want to hire. After that, networking is really important. Find something that you\u2019re passion about, that you love, and make connections in that circle. If you love what you\u2019re doing and you\u2019re surrounded by other people that are like-minded and driven, you won\u2019t have to work a day in your life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyhinews.com\/news\/ryan-mowrey-and-his-family-keep-grand-county-geared-up-ready-to-go\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Sky-Hi News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ryan Mowrey is a local product, having grown up in Fraser and graduated from Middle Park High School before starting a life for him and his young family in Grand County.
