Building Sustainable Rural Towns
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

In 2005, I retired after 23 years directing Utah's rural economic
development programs for five Utah governors. I retired in Kanab, Utah
were my plans were to get wet in Lake Powell and dusty on back country
roads with my wife Kathy. I live on a gold course under red rock cliffs and
am enjoying a retirement of which many can only dream.
However, there is so much that be done to help rural towns that I will
always be available to help. That's why I started KE Kanab, a small
consulting firm. I was surprised to learn how many business and
communities were not taking full advantage of the resources available to
help them. I just couldn't stand aside and ignore rural needs when I had
about as good a knowledge as anyone where these resources were
hidden.
Whether it means helping a business access incentives they didn't know
existed or working hand in hand with community leaders to craft new
strategies to face the challenges of the New West, I'm pretty sure I can
help... and if there aren't resources available, I won't waste your time or
mine. There's nothing I hate more than someone who lacks the courage
to tell people things they don't want to hear. Give me a call and we'll sit
down and see what I can do to help meet your needs.
