Moira Vander Meer started at NWCCOG in March and is a long time local of Summit County. One of her hobbies is scuba diving all over the world. “I’m PADI open water and deep-water scuba diving certified! I got certified in Mexico and recertified in Honduras. I love getting to see so many unique fish and get such mental stimulation from all the beauty,” said Moira. She has been living, playing, and working in the area for 29 years. Moira’s pride and joy is her 8.5-year-old Chocolate Lab/Vizsla mix, Watson. Helping others achieve their goals and dreams comes naturally for Moira. “I love helping others get started with their own businesses and business plans. There are really amazing people that live here who are doing amazing things,” said Moira. She and her husband own an angel investing company where they provide small and beginning businesses with the seed funding, tools, and support they need to be successful. Moira also has an extensive background in bookkeeping, and she is currently taking 13 credit hours at Colorado Mountain College to deepen her knowledge and earn further certification.
