Chamber Board
Bill Aubin
President (Board Member since 2022)
Originally from Florida, Bill Aubin traded the Salt Life for the Mountain Life in 1995, first in Evergreen, then moved to Conifer in 2009. After leaving a career in service and sales, Bill took those relationship-based skills and applied them to helping businesses obtain commercial loans as a commercial finance advisor with Optive Commercial Capital. He loves raising a family in Conifer. And being connected to all the great members of the Conifer Chamber, it was a natural choice to volunteer as an ambassador to help welcome new members and maximize their involvement and networking benefits through the organization. Now, serving on the Board of Directors, Bill hopes to continue to work to make the Chamber the best that it can be for the members and community.

Mike Thompson
Treasurer (Board Member since 2021)
Mike Thompson is the owner of Snowpack Taproom & Pizzeria in Conifer. After over a decade of running a highly successful web development and consulting business started at the age of 22, Mike decided it was time for a change of pace. In late 2016 after a trip to the Pacific Northwest, Mike decided to start a restaurant in Conifer with a focus on high-end craft beer and artisan, scratch-made food. In early 2017, Snowpack Taproom & Pizzeria was launched to a very welcoming community. Both of these careers have given Mike a wealth of experience in management, team building, event organizing, and financial planning. Mike spends his free time snowboarding, offroading, camping, traveling, and refining his palette for everything the craft beer and food worlds have to offer.
Katie Burgoyne
Secretary (Board Member since 2022)
Originally from Florida, Katie Burgoyne moved to Denver in 2009 with Damon. Katie played college golf in SC and worked in the golf industry for many years as a golf professional. Upon moving to Colorado, the winters made her find a new career path and she worked in human resources up until their twins were born in 2015. With the birth of their twins, they wanted to get out of the city and made their home in Pine, CO. Katie and Damon purchased Denver Amramp in January of 2019 and have been making life accessible in Colorado and beyond since then. Denver Amramp joined the chamber shortly after purchasing the company and have found such wonderful connections and people that it was a natural next step to become an ambassador.
