Amy Hamrick
​Amy is currently enjoying her 23rd year as a full-time resident of Estes Park, landing here after completing her BA in Recreation Administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is thrilled that her two favorite professors (and mentors) have since retired and live here as well. As the founder and owner of Kind Coffee, and through her love of community and the environment, she has the opportunity to support many nonprofits and local efforts that enhance Estes Park, including partnerships with the Estes Valley Land Trust, Rocky Mountain Conservancy, and most recently, EPRNC. Her professional career has been filled with local Board assignments, including positions on the Estes Valley Library Board of Trustees, the Transportation Advisory Board, the Downtown Business Partners through EVPC, the Hospital Board of Trustees, and the KUNC Advisory Board.
Amy is passionate about the outdoors and strives to spend equal time getting outside, adventuring with her husband and 4-legged kids. When they are not in their “backyards” of RMNP and Arapaho Roosevelt National Forest, they are typically exploring the canyons of the southwestern United States or surfing the waves in Costa Rica and Panama.

He and his wife, Pamela, came to Estes Park on vacation for the first time in 2007 and it became their "happy place."

Pamela now works as the Finance Director for the Estes Valley Recreation & Park District.

Courtney then completed a Master of Social Work degree at Texas State University.
