Meet our third Power Couple of NOCO spotlight in our June issue, Betony and Tim Coons.

Betony and Tim are a Northern Colorado couple whose work spans visual art, philanthropy and creative storytelling.

Meet our second Power Couple of NOCO spotlight in our June issue, Lauren and Shawn Storeby.

Lauren and Shawn are a Northern Colorado couple whose work spans small business ownership, veteran advocacy and community building. Shawn, a former U.S. Marine who deployed three times, co-founded Honor Street, a nonprofit supporting veterans in crisis by covering essential expenses. Lauren brings that same community-first spirit to her role on the Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce board and as chair of the Northern Colorado Hospitality Sector Partnership.

Together, they sold their house, moved to Fort Collins sight unseen with a newborn, and built two beloved local businesses: Snack Attack Specialty Sandwiches & Brews and Happy Trails Coffee Co. Along the way, they’ve donated meals to healthcare workers, helped fellow restaurant owners survive the pandemic and earned a Small Business of the Year Award from the chamber in 2019.

Read their full story in our Power Couples of NOCO feature in this month’s issue, and stay tuned to get to know the rest of Northern Colorado’s power couples.
