While not running her own financial consulting company, Creekside Capital, Kari is the secret sauce that makes Sunrise Land Company tick.
Kari was raised on a farm and ranch north of Stratton, Colorado. At an early age, she took an interest in finance and pursued a career in banking. She earned a BS in Business Administration with an emphasis in Accounting from Colorado State University, where she also minored in Ag Resource Economics. In 2017, Kari completed a master’s degree from the Graduate School of Banking program at the University of Colorado.
Kari’s banking career began with the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) in Denver, Colorado. Her position as an Associate Examiner provided the opportunity to travel the U.S. examining Farm Credit banks across the country. In 2012, she moved home to begin working as a Loan Officer for The Eastern Colorado Bank (formerly Kit Carson State Bank). She held the position of Vice President – Lending when she left her banking career of 11 years.
Kari lives on the family farm and ranch with her husband Tyson and their two sons, Creed and Stanlee.
