VOC Crew Chef: Rose Beyer

VOC regularly highlights different VOC leaders, in all capacities, so that we can share with you the inspiring work they do to care for Colorado's outdoors! Here, we'd like to recognize Rose Beyer, a VOC Crew Chef and volunteer since 2008. 

For her first two years with VOC, Rose mostly worked on trail construction projects, and then one fall was asked to serve as a Crew Chef at a small event. She said yes, with no idea that this experience would lead to her new calling. Rose has since served as a Crew Chef on more than 35 VOC projects!

"What I enjoy most about being a crew chef are those early rises - emerging from my tent while it's still dark outside, and drinking my coffee as I catch a beautiful view of the early morning moon," said Rose.

While Rose is responsible for all meals on overnight projects, many volunteers would agree that Rose is best known for her variety of baked goods, "especially my carrot cake," she said.   

In Rose's time away from VOC, she works as an engineering manager at Honeywell in Colorado Springs. She enjoys golfing with her work league, and baking cakes or cookies for her family and friends (the photo above features Rose and her "cake helper" mother alongside a wedding cake she created). "I am also a huge Parrothead. I try to get out and see Jimmy Buffet at least once a year," said Rose.
