Braden Wahr

I started as a professional snowboarder. Then, a barista at Starbucks. I became a legislative aide for Rep. Ken Summers when he saw something in that young barista, and then went on to become a vital social media strategist for the Joe Coors congressional campaign. Most recently, I worked as a special projects coordinator and regional data analyst for a non-profit advocating economic prosperity for all. I'm not afraid to work hard, get my hands dirty and do what needs to be done. In my last position I traveled to over 16 states providing software training to state and field directors, making sure communication between the data management team and the field were open and clear, and insuring data provided could actually be applied on the ground to reach target audiences. I climbed all 54 of the 14,000ft. mountains in Colorado before I was 13. I went on a mission trip to Russia when I was 16 to help repair an orphanage. Today, I try to make a difference by supporting charities and mission trips that I believe help make the world a better and stronger place.
