Kathy
Ophthalmic Tech

After sailing around the world in a hot air balloon, I birthed a litter of children. On my solo voyage, circumventing the globe, to meet up with my husband, as he backpacked through Mongolia, we felt it wasn’t the place to settle. We took flight once again but was blown off course and landed in Montrose. As life has slowed down, my passions include microbiology, hydroponic molecular genetics, and quantum physics. I have a sourdough experiment via AI that works magically. Travel is a favorite pastime.

Shane Daly
Ophthalmic Tech

Shane has run the front desk in the past, but now he’s the trusty back-up receptionist/tech/repairman if the occasion ever arises. Shane is a realtor with Phelps Real Estate Group, LLC and co-owner of Daly Snacks, LLC, with his wife- Dr. Joanna!
