Board of Directors

Kyle Katsos – President

Raised and rooted at the foot of America’s Mountain Kyle was brought up in an open-minded and industrious environment. Educated at CU Boulder’s Leeds School of Business in Finance, Management, and Entrepreneurship with emphasis in entrepreneurial finance, Kyle tested his education through real world application by founding and operating Greener Avenues, a conscientious property services company, and volunteering time with the Boulder Independent Business Alliance as outreach coordinator. Emerging as a visionary leader, Kyle returned to Colorado Springs to co-create “The Shire at Old Ranch”, a place for growing resilient people, place, and community. A product of his environment, Kyle aspires to bring a mindful, rigorous, systematic, and professional approach to the business of cultivating individual and community resilience. 

Shannon Katsos – Secretary

Shannon was born and raised on the land where SEE now resides.  She holds a degree in Environmental Studies from the University of Colorado at Boulder.  She served as a Community Based Natural Resource Management Volunteer with the Peace Corps in Malawi, Africa from 2015-2017.  It was there that Shannon came to understand the importance of sustainable agriculture, the principles of permaculture, and the power of community and collaboration.  She worked alongside community members in a rural village and facilitated programs that addressed food security, deforestation, environmental awareness, and sustainable development. 

Upon returning to Colorado, Shannon spent almost three years at Giberson Elementary School and taught fourth grade while earning her teaching license for grades K-6.  While working as an educator was rewarding and demanding, the opportunity to return to environmental work and community building was too powerful to ignore. Shannon brings to SEE her experience in education, knowledge of sustainability and nature, and passion for fostering community in the place she grew up.

Scott Harvey – Director

Scott Harvey, a 36 year resident of Colorado Springs, is a licensed Civil Engineer in the States of Colorado and Arizona.  His practice centers around architectural engineering (systems of buildings).  He is also certified in Permaculture and teaches classes on water use, reuse, and appropriate technology.  In his practice, he has designed virtually all aspects of buildings, always steering participants toward lesser impact solutions.

He has served on committees focused on building sustainable community solutions including the 2012 Pikes Peak Regional Sustainability Plan (PPR2030) and looks forward to helping SEE reach out to the community and create better personal resiliency by switching energy sources and better food systems.

Hillary Fuller – Director

Hillary has spent most of her life in Colorado.  She earned her Bachelor’s in Environmental Studies with two minors, sustainability and geology, from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.  Over the years, she has worked for numerous organizations involved in environmental education, sustainable food systems, and environmental restoration.  Hillary has sought to broaden her knowledge and understanding of several topics that make her a valuable asset to SEE’s work.  She is a Master Gardener, has a certificate in permaculture design from Pikes Peak Permaculture, and has attended “Grain School” at UCCS to gain an in-depth knowledge of local heritage grains and grain systems.  In her free time, Hillary enjoys spending time in the incredible nature Colorado has to offer.
