Co-President: Chris King |
Hi Cottonwood Community! I am Chris, and I'm thrilled to work with everyone in our PTO and community to support our kids' education! I grew up in Oregon and moved to Colorado in 2010. My wife and I have 2 boys, our oldest will be starting 1st grade in the fall and our youngest still has another year before joining Cottonwood. Professionally I am a physician at the University of Colorado who has spent my career in medical education in addition to patient care. Our family loves to spend time outside whether skiing, swimming, or just walking around the neighborhood. I look forward to getting to know our community better and supporting our kids!

Co-VP: Mike Sipperly |
Hello! My name is Mike Sipperley, and I am thrilled to be involved with the PTO as a co-Vice President! My daughter is in first grade and my son is in the pre-K program at Cottonwood. The level of organization and support that the PTO provides is a big reason my wife and I chose to bring our kids to Cottonwood Creek, and I’m excited to work together with families, teachers, and staff in a way that will continue to leave that same impression on others. While my kids are at school I work as the Chief Financial Officer of Sam the Concrete Man, and outside of work I enjoy playing with my kids, cooking, taking on home improvement projects, and playing any sports I can. Please feel free to reach out – I am always happy to connect and get to know everyone in our community better! |
