Who we are
Andrew "Drew" Umyn
O'Kane Park Neighborhood President
3rd and Lamar
I moved to Lamar Street in 2013 with my wife, Christl, and I’ve had the privilege of serving on the OKPNA Board for the past several years. As current Board President, I’m focused on growing participation and getting more neighbors involved so we can continue building a strong, connected community.
For work, I spend most days in an office helping clean up humanity’s messes. When the weather’s nice, Christl and I like to wander the neighborhood just to get out of the house — and give our angry orange cat full reign of it. If you see us out and about, please stop and say hi — we’re always up for a good neighborly chat.

My wife Jill and I have lived in the neighborhood on Pierce Street, north of the park, since 1986. When we moved in, we were the youngsters, now we are the oldsters. We raised our two children here and they are now grown. They live in Ft. Collins and Buena Vista. I am retired after spending my entire career in the construction industry. My hobbies include remodeling our house, skiing, gardening, hiking, stand-up-paddle-boarding, and travel. When the Neighborhood Association was established back in 1998, I was one of the original board members. I enjoy serving on the board. Looking forward to all of the fun summer activities being planned. Please join us.

I have been living in the O’Kane Park neighborhood since 2013 with my husband, Andrew, and my furry friends, Zoey and Monkee. I really love this neighborhood’s vitality and sense of community. My goal is to help invigorate the neighborhood association and keep people interested in joining us in our roster of events and engage more with our neighbors. During the day, you can catch me walking in the park.

Pierce Street​
My wife Amelia and I have lived in the vibrant O’Kane neighborhood for more than 15 years. Our dedication to the neighborhood is fueled by the camaraderie of our exceptional neighbors, the delightful culinary scene at Belmar, and the easy access to both Denver and the majestic mountains.
As devoted parents of two young children, we actively participate in local activities. You’ll often find us at the park, ringing our bikes, or enjoying leisurely strolls around our charming streets.
I’m eager to use my professional background in finance and technology to contribute innovative ideas and enhance the O’Kane community spirit. My vision for the neighborhood revolves around fostering a sense of belonging and creating memorable experiences. I look forward to making our neighborhood an even better place to call home.
