Currently, Karen is a Family and Consumer Science Agent for Routt County Extension in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
Karen has had a wide range of experience in her 25 years as a nutrition
educator. Originally she worked for Western Dairy Council, and later served as
the nutritionist for the state-of-the-art Coors Wellness Center. She was also an
Associate Professor at Metropolitan State College of Denver. Karen edited two cookbooks for the Colorado Dietetics Association, Simply

Excited to be back in on the western slope of Colorado where she grew up, Karen and her family love Steamboat Springs. Prior to moving there 4 years ago, the Massey family lived on a sailboat for 4 years. Karen, her husband Dean, and their twin sixteen-yearold sons, Jack and Ben, sailed the Mediterranean and crossed the Atlantic in their 43-foot sailboat before moving back to Colorado.
