Paul Donahue is a candidate in District 1 for Castle Rock Town Council. He's running unopposed. YourHub.com asked him to respond to a questionnaire about his interests and local issues. Elections will be held April 1.

Paul Donahue

Age: 43

My family: Jennifer, my wife of 16 years and my three sons: Tanner, 14, Aidan, 12, and Maclean, 10.

Education: BA in Business Administration, Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas; MBA in Marketing, University of Colorado.

What I do: Financial Advisor for Edward Jones & Co. here in Castle Rock.

My favorite place in town to hang out: I enjoying "hanging out" at the baseball fields, soccer fields and basketball courts watching my kids play sports.

What I like most about living here: I enjoy the family atmosphere encouraged by the town of Castle Rock as well as the natural splendor of the mountains and climate here in Colorado.

My interests and hobbies: Managing finances for individuals and small business, encouraging saving for retirement for families, spending time with my wife and kids, studying history and politics and working with my church.

My favorite thing to cook: Spaghetti

People who inspired me (and how): My wife, Jennifer, is one of my biggest inspirations. She sacrifices her career opportunities to stay at home and care for our family.All of the Founding Fathers including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin who put their lives on the line to create the most powerful and economically successful country the world has ever seen.

How I have contributed to the community: Member of Board of Directors for the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce; past president of Colorado Elite Soccer Club; coaching baseball and basketball for the Town of Castle Rock; and work with a Men's Ministry at our church helping single moms, elderly and afflicted with minor home projects.

The biggest issues facing Castle Rock now: In my opinion, the biggest issues facing Castle Rock right now are water, transportation and sustainable growth.

Why I am running: I am running for town council because I believe my experiences as a father and business person in the community will help me make long- term decisions that will continue to enable Castle Rock to be an ideal place to raise families and run businesses in the foreseeable future.

Mr. Donahue will make a fine councilman. Glad he is willing to perform this (mostly thankless) service to the town.
