COHVCO Leadership

Keith Douglas | Chairman
kdouglas@cohvco.org

Keith has been an off-road enthusiast since the 60s. He has trail ridden and competed with motorcycles and 4x4s and continues his off-road fun today with a Jeep and a UTV side x side.

Keith is now retired but worked as an engineer and project manager for two large international corporations during his 40-year career in Kentucky, Colorado, New York, Connecticut, North Carolina, and now back in Colorado. In retirement Keith stays busy with family, friends, and tinkering in his shop. COHVCO is his most current volunteer organization. During the 70s when he first moved to Colorado, many enjoyable days were spent trail riding and exploring in the mountains. Upon returning to the state in 2013, he was surprised and saddened to find many of the trails and roads he formerly enjoyed were now closed. He wants to prevent additional closures so future generations can enjoy the outdoors as he did, not only in Colorado but in neighboring states as well. He views COHVCO as a way to “pay it forward” to future generations and keep trails and lands open.

Aaron is basically a snowmobiler who happened to pick up a dirt biking habit somewhere along the way. Growing up in Central Wyoming, he started snowmobiling when he was 4 years old. He has worked as an engineer in various segments of the energy industry since 2007. Living for a few years in Eastern Utah after starting his career as an engineer, the importance of keeping public lands open for motorized recreation became very important to him so he became a Lifetime Member of BRC in 2008. After career-related moves amongst Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and West Virginia (all states you can conveniently ride dirt bikes or snowmobiles in) between 2007 and 2018, Aaron (again) moved back to Colorado in 2019. At that time, he began volunteering with the Rampart Range Motorcycle Management Committee doing a lot of trail clearing work and assisting in other RRMMC functions.  In 2024, he became the RRMMC rep to COHVCO and looks forward to supporting COHVCO well into the future.

Brian is a lifelong off roader and Jeep enthusiast and currently has two Jeeps, an ’02 Wrangler TJ that he has built for wheeling and a ’21 Gladiator JT that is his daily driver and overlanding platform. Brian retired as a Command Sergeant Major from the US Army in 2014 and now volunteers with the Colorado Off Road Enterprise (CORE) and serves on the CORE Advisory Board, Colorado Trail Defenders, Stay the Trail, Tread Lightly and the Colorado 4 Wheel Drive Association. This is Brian’s second tour of duty as a COHVCO Board Member and previously served as COHVCO Chairman. Brian also served for several years as the President of the Colorado 4 Wheel Drive Association and currently serves on the BOD as their Land Use Chairman. Brian’s 36+ years of military service and his volunteerism as a retiree has allowed him to go wheeling all over the United States. Originally from Newport, RI, Brian now resides in Monument, CO.
