Ansis has spent time in many different places, ranging from Riga, Latvia, to New Orleans, Louisiana but made his way back to his home state of Colorado in the Summer of 2023. After majoring in physics, followed by psychology, Ansis pivoted to focusing on service and hospitality. Having spent the better part of a decade overseeing operations and customer experience in hospitality and higher education, he brings a wealth of knowledge ensuring that things run smoothly, and that customer experience is stellar.

Ansis is excited to return to Colorado, cooler weather, the beautiful outdoors the state has to offer, and to provide his services to the community at large.  

I currently live in Severance, CO. but I am originally from Seattle, WA. I have over 20 years’ experience in working with the geriatric and disabled community. I have worked in Assisted Living as well as Long Term Care. I have an associate degree in business/office administration and have utilized this in my career to problem solve and find solutions. My passion has always been advocating for others at work and on a personal level. I came up with this concept that “If I help you and you help me, then there is no option for failure. Just a path made for us to succeed.” I am grateful for this opportunity to serve our community and look forward to serving ALL.

Ana is from Greeley, where she worked as an Independent Living Specialist for seven years at Connections for Independent Living. She has worked in the human services field for over 20 years, from being a woman’s advocate for survivors of domestic violence, to working with at-risk youth. Since the age of 16, Ana worked and also volunteered with various non-profits, then took a break to go back to school and work as Graphic Artist for the Greeley Tribune. She then found herself working with non-profits again, but still finds time to be creative with her artistic skills.

Ana enjoys her position at DRS and hopes to get to know the Fort Collins /Loveland areas a lot better.

His lived experience fuels his compassion, and his communication style is grounded, clear, and client‑centered.

With a career built at the intersection of neuroscience and dedicated community advocacy, Al is focused on breaking down systemic barriers to human services. They earned their Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a Concentration in Neuroscience and spent three years in cognitive research before transitioning into roles in Street Outreach, Permanent Supportive Housing Case Work, Family Caseworker, and working as a Domestic Violence/Housing Navigator. This experience includes immediate on-scene crisis deployment alongside first responders, specialized SAVA crisis response training, and extensive work navigating complex legal and child protective systems. 

At the core of Al’s work is a fierce commitment to inclusive advocacy and disability justice. They are driven to dismantle the societal misconception that disabilities are binary or strictly visible, actively highlighting the fluid realities of invisible and dynamic conditions. By highlighting established frameworks of universal design and the “Curb Cut Effect,” they promote the reality that when environments are built to accommodate marginalized groups, society as a whole inherently benefits. 

Above all, Al is focused on ensuring that critical disability services and functional accommodations reach historically underserved populations who statistically face the greatest barriers to care. This includes a dedicated focus on youth, who are routinely forced to navigate rigid, complex medical and educational accommodation systems while facing systemic obstacles.

Their ultimate goal is to work collaboratively with Youth to determine their specific goals, identify barriers, and create a tangible plan to reach those milestones while actively working toward long-term independence.
