Greg Speer - Greg Speer, MD, is a retired emergency physician who, with his wife and critters, moved to Fort Collins in 2007 from the Alabama coast. Greg has long been involved with environmental issues. He is also an avid fly fisherman and one of the key factors in the decision to move to Fort Collins was having a trout stream flowing right through town. Shortly after moving here it was with great alarm that Greg learned of the proposed NISP. He soon became aware of Save The Poudre and got involved with great enthusiasm. He is totally committed to protecting and restoring the Cache La Poudre River and has a keen interest in western water issues in general. |
