Ray Thurston is a master electrician and co-owner of R&R Ink, a local electrical services company that\u2019s been a family run business for 34 years and counting.<\/p>\n

Thurston grew up in Grand County, learning his trade at 7 years old while working alongside his dad. According to his nomination, not only are Thurston\u2019s work ethic and 24 years of experience invaluable assets, he\u2019s also volunteered with the Grand Fire District for 19 years. Additionally, he has retired from being an active member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association after competing as a bull rider, and he is the father of two young girls.<\/p>\n

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?<\/p>\n

I see myself here in Grand County, raising my family and getting my kids through school while keeping our business running at full steam.<\/p>\n
