“Emergent Campus has been a real blessing. I’ve generated new business through the connections and am actually busier now than when I was in Denver,” Kevin Mahmalji, President and Strategic Consultant, Two Rivers Consulting.
Meet Kevin Mahmalji and his journey from rural roots and family tragedy to a Washington presidential campaign and Colorado Senate Race worker, to nonprofit strategic communications leader and Director of Outreach, to founder of Two Rivers Consulting in Florence, Colorado.
Joining Emergent Campus at Ground Zero
Like many, in an effort to launch his business and escape the high cost of living and traffic congestion in Denver, Kevin looked to Fremont County as an alternative that indeed not only allowed him to grow and market his business but provided a community of likeminded individuals and affordable co-working space through Fremont County Economic Development Corporation (FEDC) TechSTART and the Emergent Campus in Florence, Colorado.
At the core of all his strategic communication work are his rural roots and his special knack at connecting with rural communities and their needs and his passion to help others. Through Kevin’s involvement in local community organizations, including serving as the vice president of the John C. Fremont Library District, president of Florence Rotary Club, board member for the Chamber of Commerce, and member of the Steering Committee for the Heart of Colorado Rural Philanthropy days, he was invited to the inaugural opening of the Emergent Campus.
Upon this introduction Kevin was sold. “Emergent Campus was a perfect fit for me and where I was at with Two Rivers Consulting.” The chance to network and collaborate with other entrepreneurs and small businesses has been a huge plus, according to Kevin.
“It’s really exciting to be at the heart of a transformation in a rural community—and contribute my professional experience to help others doing such amazing work in the community,” he added.
