Meet Our Team

I have the privilege of being the Executive Director of the Pregnancy Resource Connection. Here is a bit of my story and my journey to serving at PRC.

In 1991 I married my wonderful husband, Robert Matson. We had both wanted kids and even while we were dating, we had talked about adopting children and in 1993, through adoption, God blessed us with the great privilege to parent our daughter, Elise. And in the years that followed, God brought two more amazing children into our lives, Isaac, and James.

When Elise was six months old, my husband and I went to a meeting for PRC and we haven’t looked back since. In 1994, I began this amazing journey with Pregnancy Resource Connection. Throughout this journey, I have continued to expand my educational background in many areas. Areas like reproductive loss healing, adoption specialization, sexual risk avoidance education, child protective education, and crisis counseling intervention.

Getting to know the wonderful woman and their families has been one of the greatest joys in my life. Also, working alongside of other non- profits as we help bring support systems that equip families to care for themselves and their children is very rewarding.

I graduated in 1975 with my Bachelors of Science degree in Nursing and began my career in Neonatal Nursing in 1976 at Strong Memorial Hospital in my hometown, Rochester, NY. I became a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP) in 1981 in Greenville, NC.

In 1984 our family moved to New Hampshire and I worked at Dartmouth Medical Center until 1988 when we moved to Littleton, CO. I worked as a NNP in Denver until 2011. While there, I received my certification as a Lactation Consultant in 2010. In 2011, I began 6 years of commuting to Pueblo. My last NNP job was in Pueblo, CO from 2011 to 2017.

We were fortunate to buy our land in Grand County in 1997, and built our home in 2004.  Finally, in the beginning of 2022, we sold our home in Littleton and moved to Grand County full time.

I have been at PRC for 3 years, the last two as Nurse Manager.  I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be able to use my knowledge and past experience to assist our families in Grand County.

I was born and raised, mostly, in Mansfield, LA then moved to Grand County in 1996.  I met my husband here and we have three wonderful children.  I started with Pregnancy Resource Connection in 2020 as an office administrator and later expanded that role to include bookkeeping.  My journey with Pregnancy Resource Connection has been amazing and so much more than just providing administrative or accounting help.  I get to interact with the remarkable people we see each day and share in their special journeys.  I cannot imagine a better place on earth to work.

I have been privileged to serve on the Board of Directors of the Pregnancy Resource Connection since 2010.  I began my work in the Pro-Life ministries in the 1980’s in Houston Texas where I volunteered at a crisis pregnancy/hotline center, as they were referred to back then. 

Over the succeeding years I branched out into working with the Gabriel Project, a maternal assistance ministry, with the diocese of Galveston/ Houston Texas. I also became involved with the national organization Silent No More, that serves women and men who have been harmed by a past abortion experience. This then led me into the world of post abortion healing and recovery.

I have served on teams with the Rachel’s Vineyard Post Abortion retreat weekends in both Texas and Colorado. I also facilitate the Forgiven and Set Free post abortion Bible studies at the Pregnancy Resource Connection.

The Lord has been my teacher and my guide during the best of times and the worst of times on my pro-life journey. I will forever cherish my involvement with the PRC family.

I have been a board member since March of 2020, a practicing Catholic and I’m proud to serve the PRC, a valuable resource in the community.  I believe in the sanctity of life from conception to natural death and I’ve seen the PRC staff and volunteers touch the lives of many Grand County residents.   The life of every individual, from its very beginning, is part of God's plan. 

I have two adult children and moved to the mountains from Broomfield, CO and I currently live with my wife Kathy in Chaffee County, CO.  I’m a retired CPA and I worked in various finance and operational management positions at both small and large technology companies.  Also, I have a newspaper column in the Sangre De Cristo Sentinel and the author of the book, It's Not About the Badge.

My wife, Geri and I came to Colorado in 1972 after college in Nebraska.  We have two daughters and four wonderful granddaughters.  My passion for the unborn came during a sermon at our church in 1967, where our minister exclaimed that abortion was wrong.  Many years later I listened to June Matson talk about her passion for the unborn.  This prompted me to ask to be on the board of directors for the Pregnancy Recourse Connection in Granby.

During my almost five years on the board, I have witnessed the help that our entity provides to women that are pregnant to help save the lives of their unborn children. I believe that God's wishes are being served here and I am very proud to be on the board. We have moved to Arizona now and I am still excited that I am able to help.

I retired from Visa Incorporated at the end of 2015, after a 40-year of computer-related technical experience between different companies. My wife and I both graduated from Fort Hays State University.  My BS degree was in business with a minor in computer science.

We purchased a home in Tabernash, Colorado at the end of 2007, and became full time residents at the start of 2015. We have two grown sons, five grandsons, and one granddaughter, who live close by allowing for fun family time.

We enjoy hiking, fishing, and snowshoeing, and started downhill skiing after retirement. We also like playing various board games with our family, and a game of billiards is always enjoyed. I have engaged in several volunteer opportunities over the years.  I enjoy working with others while always learning new skills.

I started as a volunteer with Pregnancy Resource Connection, and then became a board member on November 2020. I believe that there is great opportunity to help our community through service with the Granby PRC.

I have served on the Pregnancy Resource Connection Board since February 2019 and currently serve as Secretary. My husband and I moved to Grand County in September 2018 where we soon met June Matson at church. After learning about this incredible ministry, I knew I wanted to get involved and that’s when I joined the Board.

We recently welcomed our first child and I have the blessing to stay home to raise our son. I recently worked for the two school districts in our county bringing work-based learning opportunities to our students.  Prior to that, I worked at the Granby Chamber of Commerce in various roles. I love PRC and feel honored and blessed to be part of such an incredible resource and source of connection it provides our women, men and children in Grand and Jackson Counties. 

Born and raised in Albuquerque, NM, I then spent four years earning a BSEE from CU Boulder.  After graduation, I worked for Westinghouse Electric Corporation in Raleigh, NC where I met my husband, Mark. 

We moved three times due to Mark’s job and I attended three different graduate schools until we moved to Chadds Ford, PA where we lived from 1981 until 2006.   After earning an MSBA and PhDC, I spent the last 22 years of my career with Hewlett-Packard and then it’s spinoff, Agilent Technologies.  When I retired in 2006, we moved to Jupiter, FL. 

The majority of my retirement has been working with church ministries and conservative civic organizations … that is, when I am not visiting our grandchildren in the Boston area.

In 2017, my husband and I purchased a home in Grand Lake, CO so that we could be closer to our son in Denver and my Colorado, Utah, Arizona siblings. 

I have always been a strong pro-life advocate and was honored when asked to serve on the PRC Board.  My focus on the Board is and will continue to be technology and social media.
