What drives you or keeps you grounded?
What keeps me grounded is my commitment to daily discipline. Meditation provides clarity and focus, while the gym strengthens my resilience. Prioritizing my mental and physical well-being allows me to show up fully for my family, my career, and those who rely on me.
What’s one piece of advice or a life lesson you live by?
A guiding principle I live by is that reputation is everything. Integrity means doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. Trust is built through consistency, honesty, and accountability. A strong reputation lasts a lifetime, and I strive to uphold mine by making choices that align with my values every single day.

What drives you or keeps you grounded?
Without a doubt it's my family! They are the one thing that always can bring me back to center even on the worst days. Also, I enjoy riding our local mountain bike trails, fly fishing some of the best rivers in the country, golfing and volunteering whenever possible. Lastly, I would say that my continued education around all aspects of the industry I'm in helps me stay focused and aware.
What’s one piece of advice or a life lesson you live by?
Be Kind and Never Stop Trying! I strive to live every day in a way that can help someone else live a better life, whether that is making a difference in the community through volunteer work, coaching the next generation of tradesmen and women for a better future or just the happiness I see in my customers when we complete a job. We never stop trying to excel in what we do and who we are because the moment we think we are at the top; is the day we step off the peak.

What drives you or keeps you grounded?
With 37 years of chiropractic experience, I help children thrive, especially those with sensory challenges, such as ADHD, ASD, and anxiety. As a child, I used art to cope with undiagnosed learning struggles. That insight, discovered in graduate school, became the spark behind my mission: to help kids unlock their full neurological potential. Chiropractic care, when approached through the nervous system, can restore function and transform lives. It’s not just about backs — it’s about brains, behavior, and brighter futures.
What’s one piece of advice or a life lesson you live by?
We are wonderfully created. Nature gave us three core responsibilities: Eat well. Move well. Think well. It all starts with a healthy spine and nervous system. When the spine is healthy, everything works better, often in ways you'd never expect.

What drives you or keeps you grounded?
What drives me is the commitment to serve our Denver community with integrity, quality, and personalized care. For over 25 years, I’ve taken pride in helping homeowners improve their homes with windows, siding, and doors—always striving to exceed expectations. At New Windows for America, we listen, we follow through, and we stand by our word with satisfaction guarantees. Doing the right thing, every time, is what keeps me grounded and has earned us the trust of countless families. That’s the standard I’ve built this business on—and it’s what continues to guide us every day.
What’s one piece of advice or a life lesson you live by?
The best advice I live by is: “Do the right thing, even when no one’s watching.” As a small business owner and part of a family-run company, I’ve built New Windows for America on integrity, quality, and trust. For over 25 years, we’ve earned Denver’s trust by delivering on our promises, treating every customer with respect, and doing the job right—no shortcuts. Whether it’s staying late to finish a project or making sure a homeowner feels heard, we show up every day with honesty and heart. That’s the foundation of our success—and how we’ll continue to serve our community.

What drives you or keeps you grounded?
My family keeps me grounded while also inspiring me to strive for more. They are my motivation. We started our business from the ground up and that was not easy. That keeps me humble.
What’s one piece of advice or a life lesson you live by?
Lead by example and focus on making a difference. We don't just complete a job and move on; we build lasting relationships. I always tell our clients, "Long after the storm, we're still here." True impact comes from taking action—supporting causes, uplifting people with fewer opportunities, and staying engaged in the community. My advice? Stay active, keep your eyes open, and ask, who needs help? Whether it’s a school needing volunteers, a fundraiser seeking sponsors, or a community project in need, step up—or connect the right people who can.
Heath Cillessen
What drives you or keeps you grounded?
What drives me is the desire to build and create quality homes. But I know that being a builder isn’t the most important thing. Family and enjoying the moments that make life meaningful always come first. Work has its place, and I give it my best, but it’s second to the people I love and the life we’re building together. That perspective keeps me grounded.
What’s one piece of advice or a life lesson you live by?
A lesson I have learned is that the most successful projects are the ones that have a good group of people working together as a team. When building or renovating a home there are several people involved, Builder, owner, architect, engineers, subcontractors, and craftsman. If you can get everyone working together toward a similar goal, then the project can have the best outcome.
Andrew Heesacker
What drives you or keeps you grounded?
I am driven by big goals and healthy competition. I've spent nearly 20 years in the equipment rental industry—thriving even against national giants. Personally, I’m a husband, dad of two girls, and goal-setter in all aspects of life—whether business, finances, or fun. Success now means making an impact while enjoying the journey with my family.
What’s one piece of advice or a life lesson you live by?
I would say two of my favorite life lessons or pieces of advice are learning how to lead people without being their boss, enabling me to philosophically look at the art of leadership. I also am a fan of just simply “getting my no” – whether it’s sales or any opportunity really. Ask for the opportunity and the worst someone can do is say no.
