Trust.
It’s a simple word, but it holds the weight of everything we do at North Forty News.
As the owner and publisher of North Forty News, trust is at the core of my work. It’s the foundation of this fully online newspaper, built one story at a time.
- Trust from our community that we are reporting real news—stories that matter, stories that impact our neighbors, and stories that uplift Northern Colorado.
- Trust from our advertisers that we deliver on our promises, helping their businesses grow through the reach and engagement of our loyal readers.
- Trust in who we are—a locally owned, independent news source dedicated to keeping Northern Colorado informed.
When trust is broken, bridges are burned. And those bridges? They aren’t just connections; they are pathways to growth, sustainability, and the very fabric of our mission.
Artificial intelligence can analyze trust, but it can’t trust. That’s a human trait. It’s earned, nurtured, and sometimes tested. And every day, I put in the work to uphold it.
While I ponder these things, I continue publishing every single article on northfortynews.com—while also working a full-time job at Bomgaars Loveland. It takes a mountain of effort to keep it all going. And yes, sometimes I get tired. But I do this for Northern Colorado. I always have.
