Bob Byram

I moved here to be a ski bum in 1988 from New Jersey (mission accomplished). I’ve been with Pitkin County since 2014 but have been in the public works profession for many years.  I enjoy running, motorcycle riding, snowmobiling, skiing and spending time with my kids. I enjoy working for Pitkin County because it gives me a great sense of accomplishment. There is always a different project to do and everywhere we work the view is Amazing!!!

I moved to the Roaring Fork Valley in 1996 from the East Coast. I worked for Pitkin County Road and Bridge from 1997 to 2012 and returned in 2019. I have over 22 years of experience in public service; I love plowing snow in the winter and working in the high country in the summer. It is a great way to spend my days. In my free time I enjoy camping, boating, and exploring the backcountry on motorcycles with my wife and beautiful twin daughters.

DJ Hughes

I was born and raised in the Roaring Fork Valley and have been working for Pitkin County since 2013. I have a vast knowledge and experience in construction throughout the Western Slope. During the summer months my family and I enjoy hiking, camping, four wheeling and boating. During the winter months, if you don't see me plowing snow, you may find me on the slopes skiing. As a 9 year veteran of the US Army and current Road and Bridge Supervisor, I take pride in being able to serve the community. I chose Public Works as I wanted a job where I can give back to the community and make a difference. I don’t strive for job completion, I strive for taking it to the next level and making sure a job is done right. Safety is always number one.

My name is Dustin Wright and I moved from Missouri to Colorado in 2014 and since then I've been working for Pitkin County Road and Bridge. The County opens me up to fun and exciting new opportunities. I find operating equipment enjoyable and challenging, so much so, that I attended Linn State Technical College upon deciding to make this my career. This valley has made such a positive impact on me since I moved out here and it makes me excited to see what else is in store. I couldn't ask for anyone better to work for than Pitkin County. In my free time I enjoy spending my time with my beautiful little family, attending church, hunting, riding my motorcycle, and taking fishing trips to Canada.

John Cerise

Howdy, I am John Cerise.  I was born and raised in the Roaring Fork Valley. I have been with Pitkin County Road and Bridge since 2011. My favorite part of working Road and Bridge is having friendly communicative managers, operating well-maintained equipment and working with the crew.  It is a self- gratifying experience when plowing snow.  I enjoy entering an unplowed, messy road and being able to clear the snow and provide traction for safe travel throughout Pitkin County.   I live and work on my family’s Ranch in the Valley.

I have been working for the county since 1997 and I’ve been with Road and Bridge since 2008. I like the oldies but goodies man. “Make America low again” (lowrider fan). I’ve been in this valley for quite some time now and the views never fail to amaze me!!

Mike Schauster

I have worked for Road and Bridge since 2017. I like to ride my Harley in the summer and snowmobile in the winter.  I have lived in the valley all my life.
