Board Treasurer

Marco was raised in the Yampa Valley, immersed in a Mexican American household where English was limited. This upbringing instilled in him a deep understanding of the significance of accessible healthcare services, not just for his own family, but for the entire community. Marco's unwavering passion lies in advocating for those whose voices are often disregarded or silenced. Recognizing that everyone has a unique story, regardless of their background, he dedicates his time to championing the rights of the Hispanic/Non-English Speaking Community, the LGBTQIA2S+ Community, and Sexual Assault Survivors. Throughout his journey, Marco has worked with diverse populations, ranging from youth to older adults. With experience in behavioral health, social work, and agriculture, he has witnessed firsthand the lack of support for racial and ethnic minority groups. Marco finds joy in connecting with loved ones through outdoor activities and cooking, cherishing these moments as opportunities to strengthen bonds and create lasting memories.

Board Member at Large

I was born in Rangely, Colorado, and raised in Craig, Colorado and Kansas City, Missouri. After graduating from Moffat County High School, I attended mortuary school in Littleton and received a mortuary science degree in 2004. After serving as a mortician for Delta County families for nine years, I moved back to Craig in 2014 and accepted the location manager position at Grant Mortuary. In 2019, I was elected Moffat County Coroner where I have continued to serve families who have lost a loved one with the compassion and dignity that they deserve. I wanted to become a board member for ACTSS because I love the work that the advocates do every single day. I simply could not pass up the opportunity after building wonderful relationships with these caring and compassionate professionals. I look forward to working closely with the board to ensure the success of ACTSS for years to come.
