Ben Graves is excited to serve on the GMNC Board. He has been a member and avid skier on the Grand Mesa since 2011. As the Director of Development and Partnerships for the Nature Connection, Ben is on the board to strengthen the ties between these two important community organizations. Ben brings to the board his decade-long experience as a high school science teacher in the Delta County School District. He enjoys working with local kids and families, helping inspire a love for our local environment and being outside. He lives with his wife and two rambunctious kiddos in Paonia, where they can be found playing on the Gunnison rivers and cross country skiing– hopefully both on the same day!”
