Henry Cote made a smooth transition from growing up in the mountains to being surrounded by lakes, and now he’s made a leap into serving his community.
Cote, 33, moved to the lakes area full time nearly three years ago and is the newest - and youngest - member of the Lake Shore City Council.
He grew up just outside of Aspen, Colorado, in the mountain town of Old Snowmass. The small subdivision is similar in size to Lake Shore, he said. He graduated from Aspen High School and then obtained a degree in marketing from Metropolitan State University in Denver, where he lived and worked for six and a half years.
