My name is Ernesto Rafael, and I’ve had the honor of calling Pagosa Springs home for nearly 20 years. Throughout that time, I’ve worked in the service industry, always grateful for the kindness, support, and respect this wonderful community has shown to me and my family.

It fills me with pride to join this meaningful cause, supporting the youngest and most vulnerable members of our town. I’m excited to take on this new challenge and, through it, give back to the community that has given me so much.
