Fort Collins is a beautiful city of 130,000 located 60 miles north of Denver. Fort Collins
offers easy access to many forms of outdoor recreation and maintains an excellent public
school system. The city’s ideal climate and outstanding quality of life have attracted a
wide variety of manufacturing and technology-related firms. In 2006, Money Magazine ranked
