Rich Resendez
Dr. Resendez joins Aspen Academy as Director of Programs with over 25 years of experience in early childhood through higher education. During this time, he has worked as a teacher, school leader, school consultant, education researcher, and district innovation leader. Most recently, in his roles with the Impact Office and Imaginarium Labs at Denver Public Schools, Rich developed and launched successful district-wide programs while collaborating with senior leadership. Highly regarded by his colleagues and directors, he brings enthusiasm for successful program design, improvement, and innovation to our community. We are thrilled to welcome Rich and his depth and breadth of experience, commitment to student-driven programming, and passion for partnering with faculty, staff and parents to edify and inspire our students and families.
Dr. Resendez demonstrates the values of "be kind, do good, work hard, make the world better," as a community leader involved with TEDx Mile High, Futurebound, Denver School of the Arts (DSA), and The Studio School. In his free time, Rich loves watching movies, cooking, working out and traveling with his husband and daughter, a current 7th grade Video Cinema Arts major at the Denver School of the Arts.
