Why We Created AspenLife.com for You
A few years ago, our friends asked us to join them on a spring break adventure to a small fishing village in Mexico.
It was an absolute gem of a town. But as first-time visitors, we needed help finding a place to stay, fun activities, places to eat, and other exciting things to see and do. Fortunately, we discovered an excellent local website that gave us all that information and more!
When we returned to Aspen, we realized that Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley didn't have this kind of resource. We had to search Google and then visit one website for one thing, another website for another thing, a third website for something else—and on and on and on.
So frustrating!
And, as entrepreneurs ourselves, we also wondered how local businesses with limited technical knowledge and resources ever got found. You know…too many sites to search or get listed on.
We thought, "Aspen needs a website like the one we discovered in Mexico—one with everything you need to know about Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley— in one place."
Thus, Aspen Life was born!

Rich Pearce - Digital Marketing & SEO
Rich, a true local, grew up on Main Street in Aspen with a front-row seat to practically everything in town. While the allure of outdoor adventures in the Roaring Fork Valley always thrilled him, college steered him down the path of “computer nerd,” culminating in a Bachelor’s degree in Business Information Systems. His journey also uncovered a flair for writing and music. After graduating, Rich blended his technology skills and business acumen in the local banking sector. His 15-year chapter as a Commercial Banker and IT Specialist by day (and a budding rock guitarist by night) was rewarding. But it was the world of digital marketing that fired him up. So today, Rich dedicates his skills to helping area businesses flourish online with his expertise in SEO, digital marketing, content marketing, and data analytics. And he still has that unmatched local Main Street Aspen view.
