Cuchara Foundation Board

Cuchara Foundation is currently operating under a collective decision making process. If you're interested in applying to become a Cuchara Foundation Board member, please email us. Thank you for your interest.

In May of 2022, TR became part of the Cuchara Foundation, taking on the role of treasurer. TR, his wife, Ashley, and their two daughters, Delaney and Rosamund, have been part of the Cuchara Valley community since late 2020 and have called Cuchara home since May of 2022. They intend to be active community members for decades to come.

TR loves to learn and is always curious. He serves on active duty in the U.S. Army and will retire with 20 years of military service in the coming years. TR has traveled and lived on five continents; he remains firm that other than El Chaltén, Argentina, there is no other place in the world that offers such comparable natural beauty as the Cuchara Valley.

Amanda, a public school educator of 20 years and a Youth Educator for the City of Austin's Watershed Protection Department, fell in love with the Spanish Peaks area years ago while taking the long way back home to Austin, Texas after visiting family in Avon, Colorado. She and her husband, Billy, who couldn't resist the call of the mountains, purchased their home in Cuchara in July 2020. Amanda can be found enjoying the great outdoors with her husband, 2 rescued mini-Aussies, and 2 teenage sons. She enjoys hiking, exploring native flora and fauna, stargazing, snowshoeing, cycling (and recycling), xeriscape gardening, relaxing by the river, and volunteering with Cuchara Hermosa and The Cuchara Foundation.
