Mayor - Judd Behrens
Mayor Pro-Tem - Ashley Buss
"Born and raised in England, I completed an apprenticeship in Microelectronics with a defense contractor. I moved to and worked for Intergraph Corp of Huntsville, AL, on several Naval contacts, including NAVFAC. I moved to Denver, CO, in 1992, working for Intergraph's Scanning and Imaging division, becoming the General Manager. I set up a couple of businesses in the computer programming space until 2015, when I accepted a position as Vice President of an Accounting firm based in Wheat Ridge, CO. In Jan 2024, as the accounting firm's owner decided to retire, I set up my own business called Deer Trai Books, Ltd. I moved to Deer Trail in 2020 with my wife and two dogs, we are very happy with the move from Lakewood, CO; I’m looking to apply my many years of business experience to help the town move forward together."
