Living in the San Luis Valley is a joy. I grew up in Monte Vista, where I went to high school. Later, my wife and I raised two sons in Monte, worked in Alamosa and played in South Fork. I have loved every community I've worked, lived and played in. The people in the Valley are its treasure... the general integrity, reliability, and compassion of people here is genuine and honest. These are characteristics hard to come by these days. Honestly, I like working at the bank a little too much. Staying busy is easy with hobbies like sailing, mountain biking, camping and skiing.

After growing up in Northwest Arkansas I relocated to the San Luis Valley in 1996 to join family. Since then I have created a family of my  own and now consider this home. I am very active in the community as well as my husband and children's activities and school projects. I also enjoy extended rafting trips, climbing, golfing, and being with friends.

After a satisfying work week at the job that I truly enjoy, it is off to play on the weekend. My husband and I take advantage of as many weekends and holidays to go camping and boating or Jeeping!! Nature is such a beautiful way to rest and relax so that I am ready to go back to work on Mondays

I am Shawn Jensen, Controller for the bank. That just means, I do the bank's accounting. I grew up in Saguache so the San Luis Valley is my home. When I am not working I enjoy time with my family. We like to ride ATVs and enjoy the beauty of Colorado and the mountains right here where we are blessed to live.

I moved to this beautiful valley shortly after I graduated from College in 2003. The mountains, a small town pace, and getting back to my family roots beckoned me to move to Rio Grande County. I grew up in Dallas but, as my family is from the area, I spent all of my holidays here while growing up. In my spare time I enjoy staying active in the community by serving on various boards, civic groups, and service clubs. I also enjoy cycling, hiking 14ers, fishing, airplanes, and cooking.

KIM BURNS
Teller

Hi, my name is Kim Burns, I have lived in the San Luis Valley for about 15 years. I am a transplant from Texas, my husband and I moved here after I graduated from Texas Tech University. The mountains are our home that I wouldn't change for all the money in the world. I enjoy spending time gardening, especially vegetables, tomatoes are my specialty. When I am not at the bank I am working in the garden, greenhouse, or around the farm. I also enjoy reading, hiking in the mountains, riding horses, and being with my family.

I originally am from Amarillo Texas, but fell for an Alamosa boy.  So I moved here once we were married to join him in Mosca.  I love working at the bank and getting to know all the friends of Del Norte!  I enjoy camping in the summer and snowmobiling in the winter, taking our little dogs along with us as much as possible.

I truly love and appreciate the beautiful scenery and nature around us.  I have many loves in my life including my family, animals especially my two dogs that are my pride and joy, the outdoors, church, and sports.  A perfect day for me would consist of being with all my family in the mountains enjoying God's beauty.
