Meet McCoy; Robyn Weber, VP of Marketing and Strategy
Robyn Weber has been a part of Team McCoy for over fourteen years. She manages McCoy’s Marketing and Operations departments.
Robyn’s heart lies in the wilderness, where star-filled nights calm her soul. She frequently travels deep into the wild of Minnesota’s Boundary Waters to canoe with her husband, Eric (who you’ll meet in this feature next month).
When she’s not paddling into the far reaches of the wilderness, Robyn can be found gardening with waterwise/xeric plants that thrive in Denver’s dry, high altitude climate. With spring on the horizon, she is eagerly awaiting the appearance of the hardy and beautiful white tulips and blue columbines. Perfect for our western climate.
Find Robyn at a McCoy seminar and be sure to regale her with a story about your life (or RCRA). It’s her favorite part of attending.
