"Brad McQueen was acknowledged for his many years of tremendous contributions to the organization as Colorado Fourteener Initiative's 2019 Volunteer of the Year. Brad has been an active and engaged member of CFI's Board since 2014, during that period serving as Board Chair, Treasurer and member of several committees. He can always be counted on to swing tools and do the heavy lifting on CFI work projects with the Board and the Plante Moran audit firm where he works as Audit Partner.
With an encyclopedic knowledge of the 14ers gained through summitting the peaks more than 500 times, Brad knows the peaks in all seasons and conditions. When CFI embarked on a series of mountain safety videos, Brad was a great resource, spending time sharing wisdom gained from experiences as varied as having climbed the Kelso Ridge on Torreys Peak more than 50 times (and in every month of the year) and getting caught overnight in a freak spring blizzard on Mount Evans."
I would add to this that many of you know Brad as the annual host for a Happy Hour at his home benefitting the CFI and many folks here - including me - have had the sincere privilege of climbing with Brad. Or at least trying to keep up with him
! There are a lot of quality people on this site and Brad is one of those at the top of the list.Thanks, Brad!!!!!
