Gregg Looker-Background:  I lived at 1589 Adams Street for 22 years prior to moving here.  Even though I moved to Stapleton in January of 2003, I first experienced “Stapleton” when I transferred from the Denver Employment and Training Administration (now the Mayor’s Office of Workforce Development where I started with the City & County of Denver in the fall of 1977) to the (then) Aviation Division of the Denver Department of Public Works in November of 1982.   I worked on the Stapleton property from 1982 through 1992 when the City offices vacated Stapleton and moved into the new Denver International Airport.

When I retired from the City/DIA in May of 2006 (after 28.3 years in the “information technology” area) I spent 18 months traveling and doing nothing, then 18 months working for United Way, and now I am working at a local school in the area of IT.

Vision thing:  I have seen the Stapleton property evolve from the vision expressed in the “Green Book”, and almost every day I am thankful in so many ways to be living in such an incredible, vibrant community.  With the upcoming Central Park Interchange and new Light Rail Station, this community will become even more “transit oriented” and I am excited about all that will bring.

I have expressed many times to the staff of the MCA how much I appreciate the immaculate way the grounds are maintained, including all the planters, boulevards, etc.  I tell friends and acquaintances that living here is like living in Disney World!

Summarizing:  With my experience (and history) with the City & County of Denver and as a semi-retired resident, I think I have the time and energies that would best serve this community by representing our district.
