Tom Bogan, Cheyenne I am the Special Projects Manager for the Cheyenne Parks and Recreation Department. Currently I’m working on bringing a Community Recreation Center to Cheyenne and the surrounding area. I look forward to working with the council to bring a greater awareness of an active lifestyle to the citizens of Wyoming. I believe the council can be the catalyst to enhance the existing partnership between Parks and Recreation Departments and School Districts across the state to provide the physical opportunities all Wyoming citizens need.

My post college activities include basketball, golf, walking and some racquetball when I can find a court.

Lucy McVeigh, Cheyenne I graduated from the University of Wyoming with a Bachelors of Science degree in Communication, and am partially through my Masters in Communication.  After having my first of three sons back in1989, I decided to quit my fulltime work at an insurance agency and stay home with my baby.  It was then that I became certified to teach aerobics classes.  I’d found my niche.  I have continued working as a fitness professional, furthering my certifications in personal training and Pilates instruction.  My work has been fun and challenging while affording me the flexibility to be there for my children, now ages 17, 14, and 10.  I am currently the coordinator of group exercise classes at FE Warren, AFB, as well as an instructor there.  I am an instructor at LCCC, teaching Pilates and Dance Aerobics.  I also teach after-school Pilates classes for school district staff as part of their wellness program.  I do a great deal of personal training, having been the personal trainer at the Cheyenne Police Department, various health clubs, and privately.  I am currently focusing more of my efforts toward one-on-one Pilates instruction and intend to open a Pilates studio.  Besides my interest in physical fitness, I am an artist, working in pastels and pencil, and a musician, playing piano, singing and composing music.  I hope to record a CD of music that would be suitable for Pilates classes and/or just relaxing to.  I am a native of Denver, Colorado, and live in Wyoming because I love it here!!!
