Arthur was born and raised in Darien, Connecticut. He moved to Colorado Springs in 1982 and considers himself as much a native as you could possibly be without having been born here.
Arthur is married to his wife Kristen, and between them they have raised four children, now adults. And more exciting - they are now proud grandparents!
Arthur enjoys everything that there is to enjoy about living in Colorado, from outdoor hiking, winter sports, golf and other outdoor activities to the many and varied cultural and artistic offerings that our state has to offer. In addition, in his spare time, Arthur has attained world renown as an expert in the historic restoration and racing of the legendary cars of the Bavarian Motor Works. With 26 restorations completed and another on the way, the excitement continues.
