Welcome to Colorado Springs!

Answers to Your Burning Questions.

Thank you for visiting Discover Colorado Springs.  If you have landed here you must want to know something. 

In fact, I imagine that you want an answer to one of the two following questions.

1. You want to know who built the site for some reason.
2. You want to know why we built the site…the thesis statement for the site.

Who Built the Site?

I'm Chad.  Call me the guilty party.  That is me in the maroon shirt up above back when I still had a little hair. (And how sad is it that I consider that having a little hair?)

I have three jobs.  I am a real estate agent, appraiser and writer. I worked my way through college doing construction. When I moved to Colorado, I was a real estate investor. Then, I helped start a lending company and I became a real estate appraiser. Eventually, I found myself naturally adding a real estate license.

As a real estate expert, I have a thorough real world understanding of real estate properties, neighborhoods and real estate agents (I actually have a rather unique perspective on real estate).

My wife Teresa is my partner in the site (and everything else).  She is a free-lance editor, writer and mom.  (Well...she's not a free lance mom.)  She is my best friend.

Together, we have three kids ages 6, 8, and 11.  We relocated here from Phoenix ten years ago. We lived up in the mountains for a while, then we moved into Colorado Springs. Which brings us to....

Why Did We Build the Site?

When we were contemplating the move from Teller County (the mountains above Colorado Springs), we found that we did not have all the information we needed to plan our move. Even after living in the area for several years, we didn't have the information we needed.

We started gathering information. Because I'm a real estate appraiser, I knew a lot about neighborhoods, but I didn't know much about the schools.  We didn't really know very much about the parks and the awesome outdoor life possible in Colorado Springs. 

That led to this site. We decided that we wanted to take all of the information we were putting together and create a website for other people who were in the same situation.  At the same time, we wanted to tell other people who might come to visit about just how cool our city is.
